Interpretting a chi-sq correctly

To begin, I have checked your original chi-squared analysis of these data. The P-value of your chi-squared test is $0.02 < 0.025 = 2.5\%;$ you have a result significant at the 2.5% level. Thus, there …

interpreting chi square test of independence result

Compare observed and expected counts in the cell of the table for 'NoPaper' by 'Churn'. Alternatively, look at Pearson residuals. Here is the chi-squared test in R for your data. MAT = matrix(c(102, …

Using Chi Square Test to check the effect of a variable

According to your Comment, I'm subtracting the high-income subjects from the population before doing the chi-squared test in R: TBL = rbind(c(260,480,50)-c(50, 95, 8), c(50, 95, 8)) chisq.test(TBL) …

Find Statistical Significance of Binary Data

A chi-squared test is OK because $n = 26$ is large enough for the chi-squared statistic to have approximately the distribution $\mathsf{Chisq}(\nu=1),$ giving the P-value $0.00009 < 0.001 = .1\%.$ (Se …

test for significant for more than 2x2 consistency table

Here is my analysis. I think it is best to start by looking at all of the data. First, put the data into a contingency table, with columns 'Positive' and 'Negative'. DTA = matrix(c(87,96-87, 112,124 …

Chi Squared Test

Goodness-of-fit statistic. Suppose you want to test whether a die is fair by rolling it 600 times. Then you would expect, on average, to see each face $E = 100$ times. If the observed counts for faces …

Chi squared test to confirm game is fair and consistent with paytable

With possible winnings from 0 to 25, it seems there is room for considerable variability. Because you show no information about frequencies of individual payouts, I don't see a rigorous way to test wh …

Goodness of Fit and transformations

Suppose I have 10,000 observations precisely from $\mathsf{Gamma}(shape=5, rate=0.1).$ Generate them in R as follows: set.seed(2020); x = rgamma(10^4, 5, .1) (1) Then, because we know the distribu …

How to determine the expected chi^2 value?

Here are some fragmentary answers based on what you have told us about your data and analysis. If $X \sim \mathsf{Chisq}(\nu = k),$ then $E(X) = k$ and $Var(X) = 2k.$ [See Wikipedia or your text or cl …

Chi-square testing help

Here are stripcharts of your control and treatment observations (Lower plot for control.) Using R: ctrl = c(239.473, 247.451, 259.486, 254.329, 240.195) trtm = c(252.568, 313.24, 292.972, 269.032, 260 …

How is the statistic $\frac{(Obs-Exp)}{\sqrt{Exp}}$ distributed as standard normal?

The rationale for using the test statistics of the form $Q = \sum_i\frac{(X_i-E_i)^2}{E_i}$ is that counts $X_i$ in level $i$ of a categorical variable (univariate or mulivariate) are roughly Poisson- …

(Social) inequality measure based on chi-square

For a possibly useful general discussion of 'Diversity indexes' you might want to look at Wikipedia, perhaps starting with the Simpson index $$\lambda = \sum_{i=1}^R p_i^2,$$ where $R$ is the number o …

Chi-Square test for finding the difference?

Because of the round numbers in the first column (group), I wonder if all eight numbers are counts of subjects randomly chosen from two populations. If you randomly assigned 250 subjects to one Metho …

Find if two groups are different where one is a subset of the other

In Minitab statistical software the printout for the z-test is shown below: Essentially, your are comparing $\hat p_S = 0.135$ in your sample with $\hat p_C = 0.007$ in the complement of the sample. S …
