Formula For Chi-Square Test
(Oi – Ei)² / Ei = χ²
Symbols are broken down as follows:
- Σ (sigma): The symbol means sum, so each cell of your contingency table must be computed.
- Oi: This shorthand captures the idea of actual number of observations in a given cell of a contingency table, or what was actually counted.
- Ei: The number of times you would expect to see a particular result under conditions where we assume the hypothesis of no association (null hypothesis) is called as the expected frequency i.e. Ei.
- (Oi – Ei): The difference between the expected and actual frequencies is computed in this section of the formula.
Chi-Square Test
Chi-squared test indicates that there is a relationship between two entities. Handling data often involves testing hypotheses to extract useful information. In categorical analysis, chi-square tests are used to determine if observed patterns are likely to be purely random. The present manuscript expands upon chi-squared exam concepts, definitions, and procedures for doing them correctly.
