Chi-Square Statistics
The chi-square statistic is a measure of the goodness of fit between two
sets of frequencies. It is used to test whether a set of observed
frequencies differs from a set of expected frequencies sufficiently to reject
the hypothesis under which the expected frequencies were obtained.
In other words, you are testing whether discrepancies between the
observed frequencies (O
i
) and the expected frequencies (E
i
) are
significant, or whether they may reasonable be attributed to chance. The
formula generally used is:
