The chi-square test (also chi-square test or chi-square test) is a statistical test used to test hypotheses about the independence of two characteristics. It is often used to test the significance of an observational or experimental data analysis. The chi-square test is used to find out whether a particular set of observations or measurements is significantly different from the expected value. The test is based on comparing the empirical probabilities of a particular outcome with the theoretical probability of the same outcome.
