Chi-squared Test Flashcards
Where are chi squared tests stored
Contingency table
Or two way table
What is the observed values
The actual frequency data gathered
What is expected values
What the frequency data would be if there was no association
How to get an expected value
Assume there is no association, independent variables
Row total x column total/ grand total
When does chi squared tests loose accuracy
When the expected values are less than 5
Chi squared =
Summation of (O-E)^2/E
How to work out the degrees of freedom
(Rows -1) x (columns - 1)
How to then find the critical value
Take away the significance level from 100
That’s the p value
The use the degrees of freedom and find the value in the table
If the test statistic is higher than the critical value then
Reject the null.
