p-value : the probability that an event will happen purely by chance assuming the null hypothesis is true. The smaller thep-value, the stronger the evidence is against the null hypothesis.

The chi-square distribution is a useful tool for assessment in a series of problem categories. These problem categories include primarily (i) whether a data set fits a particular distribution, (ii) whether the distributions of two populations are the same, (iii) whether two events might be independent, and (iv) whether...

An important parameter in a chi-square distribution is the degrees of freedomdfin a given problem.

The chi-square distribution curve is skewed to the right, and its shape depends on the degrees of freedomdf. Fordf> 90, the curve approximates the normal distribution.

The goodness-of-fit test is typically used to determine if data fits a particular distribution. The test of independence makes use of a contingency table to determine the independence of two factors. The test for homogeneity determines whether two populations come from the same distribution, even if this distribution i...
