what is the chi squared test
to test if there is no significant difference between the observed and expected values of two numbers
find out the expected values
find out the average of the two numbers , 63 dogs 37 cats, average is 50
if difference is probably significant
null hypothesis is wrong
if difference is probably not significant
null hypothesis is right
equation
(observed value - expected value)squared divided by expected, add both answers after
if chi squared results are lower than table
no significance, null hypothesis right
if chi squared results are higher than table
significant, null hypothesis is wrong
what is the null hypothesis
the question has no link e.g smoking has no link between the values on a smoking question
