## Chi-Squared Test Statement The chi-squared test evaluates whether observed frequencies in categorical data differ significantly from expected frequencies. The test statistic is χ² = Σ[(Oᵢ - Eᵢ)²/Eᵢ], where Oᵢ represents observed counts and Eᵢ represents expected counts across categories. ## Why It Matters This test is fundamental for determining whether patterns in categorical data (like survey responses, genetic traits, or customer preferences) are due to genuine relationships or merely random chance. It's one of the most widely used statistical tests in fields from medicine to market research because it answers the essential question: "Are these variables actually associated, or did this pattern happen by coincidence?"
