CHI-SQUARE TEST (χ²): Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis. For example‚ if‚ according to Mendel’s laws‚ you expected 10 of 20 offspring from a cross to be male and the actual observed number was 8 males‚ then you might want to know about the "goodness to fit" between the observed and expected. Were the deviations (differences between observed and expected) the result of chance‚ or were they

2.3. The Chi-Square Distribution One of the most important special cases of the gamma distribution is the chi-square distribution because the sum of the squares of independent normal random variables with mean zero and standard deviation one has a chi-square distribution. This section collects some basic properties of chi-square random variables‚ all of which are well known; see Hogg and Tanis [6]. A random variable X has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom if it is a gamma
