Front Back
This type of chi-square test is used when a single random sample is taken from a set of data. The test is used to determine if a population distribution is different than a hypothesized distribution.
Goodness of Fit
The actual number of observations that fall into a certain category in the frequency table.
Observed count
This type of chi-square test is used when a single random sample of two characteristics is taken from a single population. The test is used to determine if there is an association between the characteristics.
Independence
In a two-way frequency table, the name given to the row total and the column totals.
Marginal total
For the chi-square test for goodness of fit, these are the values of the hypothesized distribution. For the chi-square tests for homogeneity and independence, these are calculated by multiplying the row total and the column total in the two way table, then dividing by the grand total.
Expected counts
The formula to calculate this statistic is sum((observed-expected)^2/expected)
Chi square
This type of frequency table describes bi variate categorical data and is used for chi-squared tests for homogeneity and independence.
Two way
For the goodness of fit test, is it calculated by number of categories - 1. For the test for homogeneity and independence, it is calculated by (number of rows - 1)(numbers of columns - 1).
Degrees of freedom
When the chi-square statistic from the data is greater than the chi squared _______ for the given degrees of freedom, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Critical value
This type of frequency table describes uni-variate categorical data and is used for chi-square tests for goodness of fit.
One way
This type of chi-square test is used when independent random samples are taken from different populations. The test is used to determine if values are statistically different from populations.
Homogeneity
The total number of observations.
Grand total
