The Chi-Square (x2) Goodness-of-Fit Test: What It Is and What It Does The chi-square (x2) goodness-of-fit test is used for comparing categorical information against what we would expect based on previous knowledge. As such‚ it tests what are called observed frequencies (the frequency with which participants fall into a category) against expected frequencies (the frequency expected in a category if the sample data represent the population). It is a non-directional test‚ meaning that the alternative

At about 100 d.f.‚ the distribution becomes symmetrical. The area under each chi-square distribution is equal to 1 or 100%

In addition‚ many infomercials are designed to be believable and make people feel the items work miracles and then when you purchase them and get them home they do not perform as intended. A lot of times “seeing is believing” especially for many infomercials and the reason why people purchase the item because they are in amazement of what they just saw. At times that statement can be true‚ because many infomercials

2.3. The Chi-Square Distribution One of the most important special cases of the gamma distribution is the chi-square distribution because the sum of the squares of independent normal random variables with mean zero and standard deviation one has a chi-square distribution. This section collects some basic properties of chi-square random variables‚ all of which are well known; see Hogg and Tanis [6]. A random variable X has a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom if it is a gamma

Chi square test for independence of two attributes. Suppose N observations are considered and classified according two characteristics say A and B. We may be interested to test whether the two characteristics are independent. In such a case‚ we can use Chi square test for independence of two attributes. The example considered above testing for independence of success in the English test vis a vis immigrant status is a case fit for analysis using this test. This lesson explains how to conduct

The following essay will be focusing on how we can use izithakazelo as sources in historical research. When I researched about izithakazelo‚ concepts such as ‘praise names’‚ ‘clan praises’‚ and ‘family praises’ came up. The word ‘coward’ can absolutely not go together with the word izithakazelo‚ as izithakazelo has such high appraisal. Izithakazelo is connected to the Zulu culture‚ and when they are praised‚ they start with the surname and then clan name whereas amaXhosa start with the clan name

These days we have many weapons. They range from knives to guns and even to nuclear bombs. Do you ever wonder what they used long ago before things like this were invented? I do and that is why I am researching medieval weaponry. In medieval times‚ weapons weren’t used just used for war. They were also used for things like games and competitions. Some swords were strong enough to go through a knight’s armor and others were soft enough to have sword fights with. Swords were the most commonly used
