Or use Quantile

prob = {0.95, 0.90, 0.80, 0.70, 0.50,
   0.30, 0.20, 0.10, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001};

TableForm[
 Table[
  NumberForm[
   Quantile[
    ChiSquareDistribution[df],
    1 - p],
   {4, 3}],
  {df, 10}, {p, prob}],
 TableHeadings -> {Range[10], prob},
 TableAlignments -> Right]

Hi,

what about

FindRoot[CDF[ChiSquareDistribution[8], x] - 0.95, {x, 1}]

?

Cheers
