Viasualization of how the chi-squared distribution arises.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: If you repeat your set of measurements (e.g. measure y as a function of x) several time, you will get different values each time, and thus a different fit to your model each time, and thus a different χ² each time (and we can calculate how χ² is distributed)
