Chi-Square Test Calculator

What it does

The Chi-Square Test Calculator is a powerful statistical tool that helps researchers analyze the relationship between categorical variables. It performs chi-square tests of independence to determine whether there is a significant association between two or more categorical variables in your dataset. The calculator automatically creates contingency tables, computes chi-square statistics, degrees of freedom, and p-values, making complex statistical analysis accessible to everyone.

Who it's for

• Students and Researchers: Perfect for analyzing survey data, experimental results, and categorical relationships in academic projects
• Market Researchers: Ideal for examining customer preferences, demographics, and consumer behavior patterns
• Healthcare Professionals: Useful for studying treatment outcomes, patient characteristics, and medical survey data
• Social Scientists: Essential for analyzing social phenomena, demographic patterns, and behavioral studies
• Quality Control Analysts: Great for examining defect patterns, process variations, and categorical quality metrics

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chi-square test?

A chi-square test is a statistical test used to determine whether there is a significant association between two categorical variables. It compares observed frequencies with expected frequencies under the assumption of independence.

What data format should I use?

Your data should be in a tabular format with headers in the first row. You can use comma-separated (CSV), tab-separated, or semicolon-separated values. Each row should represent one observation with categorical values.

How do I interpret the p-value?

The p-value indicates the probability of observing your data if there were no association between variables. If p-value < 0.05 (at 95% confidence), the association is considered statistically significant.

Can I analyze more than two variables at once?

Yes! You can select multiple row and column variables. The calculator will perform chi-square tests for all possible combinations of your selected variables.

What are degrees of freedom?

Degrees of freedom (df) for a chi-square test equals (number of rows - 1) × (number of columns - 1) in your contingency table. This value is used to determine the critical value for your test.
