Chi-square tests 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 χ2 distribution and its properties A chi-square (χ2) distribution is a set of density curves with each curve described by its degree of freedom (df). The distribution have the following properties: - Area under the curve = 1 - All χ2 values are positive i.e. the curve begins from 0 (except for df=1) increases to a peak and decreases towards 0 as its asymptote - The curve is skewed to the right‚ and as the degree of freedom increases‚ the
