Chi Square And Slope Of Least Square Line Flashcards
The sum of weighted differences/discrepancies is called…
Chi square χ^2
Unless you have _____, you cannot use chi square methods
Counts
Chi square formula
χ^2= Σ__(obs-exp)^2___
exp
The smaller the resulting chi square value,….
The better the fit
P-value of a chi square test
The probability of obtaining a chi square value as extreme as the one obtained if the Ho is assumed true
If the chi square value is large enough….
(If the p-value is small enough) there is sufficient evidence to reject the Ho and claim that the fit is poor
What happens to the chi square distribution as the df value increases?
It becomes closer to normal
Tests of independent
Question whether two or more samples might reasonably have come from some larger set
Df for two way chi square
Df= (rows-1)(columns-1)
For two way chi square table/test for independence, even if there is sufficient evidence to reject the Ho of independent,..
We cannot necessarily claim Amy direct causal relationship
Although we can make a statement about some link or relationship between two variables, we are not justified in claimed that one causes another
