	Chi Square Statistics
		The Chi Square statistic compares the tallies or counts of categorical responses between two (or more) independent groups.
		There are several types of chi square tests depending on the way the data was collected and the hypothesis being tested.
		For a contingency table that has r rows and c columns, the chi square test can be thought of as a test of independence.

		Chi square is a non-parametric test of statistical significance for bivariate tabular analysis (also known as crossbreaks).
		Chi square is used most frequently to test the statistical significance of results reported in bivariate tables, and interpreting bivariate tables is integral to interpreting the results of a chi square test, so we'll take a look at bivariate tabular (crossbreak) analysis.
		Remember that chi square operates by comparing the actual, or observed, frequencies in each cell in the table to the frequencies we would expect if there were no relationship at all between the two variables in the populations from which the sample is drawn.

	Chi-square distribution Summary
		The chi square distribution is a probability density function used in statistics to determine the probability that numerical differences in data are significant and real (as opposed to just being due to random errors or chance).
		The chi square distribution is closely related to another commonly used probability density function, the normal distribution, which shows the distribution of many random variables.
		The chi square distribution is a family of curves, because the curve shape varies depending on the number of degrees of freedom (d.f.) associated with the data in question.

	Pearson's chi-square test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the simplest examples is the hypothesis that an ordinary six-sided die is "fair", i.e., all six outcomes occur equally often.
		By the normal approximation to a binomial this is the square of one standard normal variate, and hence is distributed as chi-square with 1 degree of freedom.
		In the general case where there are k cells in the contingency table, the Normal approximation results in a sum of k − 1 standard normal variates, and is thus distributed as chi-square with k − 1 degrees of freedom (ignoring the issue of dependence between the variates):

	Chi Square
		With Chi Square, a value is calculated from the data using Chi Square procedures and then compared to a critical value from a Chi Square table with degrees of freedom corresponding to that of the data.
		Chi Square is employed to test the difference between an actual sample and another hypothetical or previously established distribution such as that which may be expected due to chance or probability.
		The two-way Chi Square is a convenient technique for determining the significance of the difference between the frequencies of occurrence in two or more categories with two or more groups.

	Inappropriate use of Chi Square:
		This yields a chi square of 3.45, which with 3 df is not significant.
		Chi square should not be used unless the data are independent.
		Since the hypothesis deals with the mean of the four scores, and since the value of chi square can vary while the mean remains constant, it is apparent that chi square can vary while the mean remains constant, it is apparent that chi square does not test the hypothesis.

	Chi Square Distribution
		The Chi Square distribution is a mathematical distribution that is used directly or indirectly in many tests of significance.

	Chi Square Test (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Chi (pronounced kye) square test is similar to tests of correlation in that it measures the strength of associations between variables.
		The Chi square test can be used to test associations in one or more groups and it does this by comparing actual (observed) numbers in each group, with those that would be expected according to theory or simply by chance.
		Chi square compares the expected frequencies in each cell, with the observed frequencies, and determines if the difference between these frequencies could have arisen by chance alone.

	Chi Square
		To find out if the computed chi square value of 8.27 is statistically significant, a chi square distribution table is used, at an alpha level of.05 (with degrees of freedom of three), designating 7.815 the critical value, which is less than the calculated chi square value.
		Since the chi square is greater than or equal to the critical value, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.
		Chi square value, in particular, does not adjust for sample size, tending to become larger as sample size increases, therefore, the relationship could be even stronger than these figures show, since the pool was only 225.

	Chi-Square (Meredith)
		The chi square test allows the experimenter to determine whether or not he/she can say there was anything other than chance acting on this scenario.
		If your chi square value is less than your P-value at 0.05, you have a case that lies within the shaded area and you’d retain the null hypothesis.
		If your chi square value is greater than the P-value at 0.05, then you have a case that lies in the non-shaded region and you would reject the null hypothesis.

	Chi Square (from Internet Glossary of Statistical Terms)
		Rather than measuring the value of each of a set of items, a calculated value of Chi Square compares the frequencies of various kinds (or categories) of items in a random sample to the frequencies that are expected if the population frequencies are as hypothesized by the investigator.
		Chi square is often used to assess the "goodness of fit" between an obtained set of frequencies in a random sample and what is expected under a given statistical hypothesis.
		For example, Chi Square can be used to determine if there is reason to reject the statistical hypothesis that the frequencies in a random sample are as expected when the items are from a normal distribution.

		The purpose of this wrapper script is to separate the logic of the Chi Square procedure from its presentational aspects.
		This means that the probability of observing a Chi Square value as extreme as 9.80 under the null hypothesis is 2 percent (which is quite a low probability).

		In this case, we cannot use a hypothesis testing base on the mean since we cannot add the percentages and divide them by six and conclude that we have or do not have a mean strength nor can we add number of bars and divide them by six to determine mean.
		Chi square cannot be negative since it is the square of a number, if it is equal to zero, all the compared categories would be identical, therefore Chi Square is a one tailed distribution.
		Since the calculated Chi Square (32.88) is lot higher that the Critical value (11.0705), we have to reject the null hypothesis.

	Lesson Eleven : The Chi-Square is a "Ratio Ruling"
		Think about it.) However, the "squared differences per expected" are different because we have different expectations for the two groups (6,017.25 to be yellow but 2,005.75 to be green) so we divide by different numbers.
		Your "squared differences" in an experiment with only two categories (one degree of freedom) must be the same - if they are not you made a math error.
		However, it is very unlikely that your "squared differences per expected" are the same unless you expected the same number for each group (a 1: 1 ratio) or you made the common mistake of dividing both groups by the same number.
