  and  , are the upper and lower incomplete gamma function.

With the value  

The PDF and the CDF of the Chi-squared distribution are:

 
 


CALCULUS TRY 1: Velocity Distribution of Ideal-Gas

edit

The distribution for a velocity in a single direction (Degrees of Freedom n=1)

edit

 


The distribution for absolute velocity (Degrees of Freedom n=3)

The Energy Distribution

using:

 
  and a scale parameter  

 

CALCULUS TRY 2:

Rewriting the Energy Distribution as Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution

edit

Using   and  .

Equation (x) can be rewritten as

 

So the Energy Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of three degree of freedom   is:

 

 

Energy Distribution of n-Degrees of Freedom

With the energy of a single degree  

 
We have
 

I believe the following is NOT VALID?

the energy in a diatomic gas with n=5 is
