Exploratory Analysis
Testing Model C
As expected, Model C has an acceptable fit, with a higher probability level than Model B:
You can test Model C against Model B by examining the difference in chi-square
values ( ) and the difference in degrees of freedom ( ).
A chi-square value of 1.118 with 3 degrees of freedom is not significant.
