In the Chi-Square Test a Critical Value Is

Question

In the Chi-Square test a critical value is:
A) The point where the discrepancies between observed and expected numbers are not
B) likely to be due to chance.
C) The point where there is no discrepancy between observed and expected numbers
D) All of these
E) None of these

Accepted Answer

The critical value in the Chi-Square test is the point at which the discrepancies between observed and expected numbers are not likely to be due to chance. This is usually determined by comparing the calculated Chi-Square value with the critical value from the Chi-Square distribution table. If the calculated value is higher than the critical value, then we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the observed and expected values.
