Front

What are degrees of freedom in a Chi-Square test?

Back

Degrees of freedom refer to the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary. For Chi-Square tests, it is calculated as (number of categories - 1).

Front

What is the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test?

Back

It tests whether the observed frequencies of a single categorical variable match the expected frequencies.

Front

What is the Chi-Square Test for Independence?

Back

It assesses whether two categorical variables are independent of each other.

Front

What is the Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity?

Back

It compares the distribution of a categorical variable across different populations.

Front

What is the minimum expected frequency for a Chi-Square test?

Back

The expected frequency for each category should be greater than or equal to 5.

Front

How do you calculate degrees of freedom for a Chi-Square test?

Back

Degrees of freedom = (number of rows - 1) * (number of columns - 1) for a contingency table.

Front

What does a significant Chi-Square result indicate?

Back

It indicates that there is a statistically significant association between the variables being tested.

Front

What is the null hypothesis in a Chi-Square test?

Back

The null hypothesis states that there is no association between the categorical variables.

Front

What is the alternative hypothesis in a Chi-Square test?

Back

The alternative hypothesis states that there is an association between the categorical variables.
