Key Concepts

Goodness-of-Fit Test

A type of chi-square test that evaluates whether the distribution of sample categorical data matches a distribution expected under the null hypothesis. It is used to see if a theoretical distribution fits the observed data.

Test of Independence

This chi-square test assesses whether two categorical variables are related (associated) or independent. It determines if the distribution of one variable differs across the levels of another variable, indicating an association between them.

Chi-Square Test

A statistical test used to compare observed frequencies to expected frequencies according to a specific hypothesis. It helps determine whether any differences between the observed and expected counts are due to random chance or indicate a significant effect.

Categorical Data

Data that can be divided into distinct groups or categories. Chi-square tests are applicable when the variables of interest are categorical, meaning they represent counts or frequencies across different classifications.
