🟪 1-Minute Summary

Chi-square tests determine if there’s a significant association between categorical variables. Common types: (1) Test of Independence (are two variables related?), (2) Goodness of Fit (does data match expected distribution?). Use when both variables are categorical. The test compares observed frequencies to expected frequencies.
