Hypothesis Testing Procedure for Chi-Square Testing
5 Steps to Perform an Chi-Square Testing STEP 01 State the null and alternative hypotheses ( STEP 02 ) Determine the expected counts (frequencies of occurrence of certain events expected under the null hypothesis) and observed counts of data points falling in the different cells. Compute the test statistic value (based on the difference between the observed and the expected; Hint: Establishing a table) Find the critical value at the predetermined significance level. Draw conclusion by comparing the test statistic value and the critical value.

PART I: CHI-SQUARE TESTING FOR GOOODNESS-OF-FIT
• A goodness-of-fit chi-square test is a statistical test of how well our data support an assumption about the distribution of a population or random variable of interest. The test determines how well an assumed distribution fits the data.

    When you perform a test of hypothesis, you must always use the 4-step approach: i. S1:the “Null” and “Alternate” hypotheses, ii. S2: calculate value of the test statistic, iii. S3: the level of significance and the critical value of the statistic, iv. S4: your decision rule and the conclusion reached in not rejecting or rejecting the null hypothesis. When asked to calculate p–value, S5, relate the p-value to the level of significance in reaching your conclusion.…

    The next step is to ascertain the values of the comparison distribution, the population conditions that exist when the null hypothesis is true. This is done by identifying what the odds are of a given result occurring in a case where the null hypothesis is true. The idea behind this is to provide a gauge, by comparing the score you get against a model of the same score and its probability of happening if the null hypothesis were true.…
