Chi-square test calculator વિશે
Pearson's chi-square test compares observed counts with the counts a hypothesis predicts: χ² = Σ(O − E)²/E. The goodness-of-fit test takes the expected counts from equal or given proportions and has k − 1 degrees of freedom, one fewer for each parameter estimated from the data. The test of independence sets E = row total × column total ÷ grand total for each cell of a contingency table and has (r − 1)(c − 1) degrees of freedom.
It answers questions such as whether a die is fair or whether a preference depends on region. The default 120 rolls (15, 22, 18, 25, 17, 23) give χ² = 3.8 on 5 df and p = 0.579, far below the 11.07 needed at α = 0.05, so the counts are consistent with a fair die.
The χ² approximation needs expected counts of about 5 or more. Cramér's V, from 0 to 1, measures how strong an association in a table is.
પ્રશ્નો
What does the chi-square p-value mean?
It is the probability of a χ² statistic at least as large as the one observed if the null hypothesis holds, such as a fair die or independent rows and columns. For the default rolls p = 0.579: a fair die would give counts at least this uneven in about 58% of 120-roll experiments. A large p-value does not prove the die fair, since small samples can miss a real bias.
What is the minimum expected count for a chi-square test?
Cochran's (1954) rule asks that no expected count be below 1 and no more than 20% of cells be below 5. When it fails, merge sparse categories or, for a 2×2 table, use Fisher's exact test. The rule is about expected counts, not observed ones: an observed 0 is fine when its expected count is 5 or more. The warning here appears whenever any expected count is below 5.
How do you find the degrees of freedom for a chi-square test?
For goodness of fit, df = k − 1 − m, where k is the number of categories and m the number of parameters estimated from the data, so a six-sided die gives 5. For independence, df = (rows − 1) × (columns − 1): 2 for a 2×3 table and 1 for a 2×2 table. The 5% critical values for 1, 2 and 5 df are 3.841, 5.991 and 11.070.
What is Cramér's V?
Cramér's V = √(χ² / (N × (min(r, c) − 1))) rescales χ² to a 0-to-1 strength of association that does not grow with the sample size. The 2×2 worked example, χ² = 4 with N = 100, gives V = 0.2. Cohen (1988) treats 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 as small, medium and large for a 2×2 table; tables with more rows and columns have lower thresholds.
Can I use percentages instead of counts?
No. χ² grows in proportion to the sample size, so the same percentages from 1,000 observations give 10 times the χ² of 100 observations. Entering percentages treats the sample as exactly 100 and gives the wrong p-value for any other sample size. Expected ratios, by contrast, can be on any scale: 9 3 3 1 is rescaled to the observed total.
