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 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?

χ2=(OE)2E\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O - E)^2}{E}

What is the formula for Expected Frequency (E)?

E=(row total)×(column total)grand totalE = \frac{(\text{row total}) \times (\text{column total})}{\text{grand total}}

What is the formula for Degrees of Freedom (df)?

df=(number of rows1)×(number of columns1)df = (\text{number of rows} - 1) \times (\text{number of columns} - 1)
