What are the differences between the Chi-Square Test for Independence and the Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity?
Independence: One sample, tests for association between two categorical variables. | Homogeneity: Multiple samples, tests if the distribution of a categorical variable is the same across populations.
What are the differences between Observed Frequency and Expected Frequency?
Observed Frequency: Actual counts from the sample data. | Expected Frequency: Counts expected if the null hypothesis is true (no association).
What are the differences between rejecting and failing to reject the null hypothesis?
Rejecting H0: There is statistically significant evidence for the alternative hypothesis. | Failing to Reject H0: There is not enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis.
Define Chi-Square Test.
A statistical test used to analyze categorical data to determine if there's a significant association between variables or if observed data fits an expected pattern.
Define Null Hypothesis (H0) in a Chi-Square test.
There is no association between the variables (for independence) or the distributions are the same (for homogeneity).
Define Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) in a Chi-Square test.
There is an association between the variables (for independence) or the distributions are different (for homogeneity).
Define Observed Frequency (O).
The actual count of data points falling into a specific category.
Define Expected Frequency (E).
The count we would expect in a cell if the null hypothesis were true.
Define P-value.
The probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as, or more extreme than, the one calculated, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
What is the formula for the Chi-Square test statistic?
What is the formula for Expected Frequency (E)?
What is the formula for Degrees of Freedom (df)?
