Abele This template won our template contest for ExpressCalc, which appeared in issue #12. Templates are files you load into spreadsheets to make them do useful things.

Write for our submission guidelines. This template calculates the Chi-square and Yate's corrected Chi-square values for integers entered into the "grid" at A, B, C, and D. The statistical significance of the chi-square is computed and reported as the probabilty. If probability is <.05 then the null hypothesis of independence must be rejected because a dependence or relationship between rows and columns has been established by this test. A verbal interpretation of "significant" or "not significant" also appears in the results box. Refer to standard statistics texts to determine the appropriateness of this test in any given situation. This program is for 2 X 2 contingency tables. It calculates the Yate's corrected chi-square if the value in A, B, C or D is less than or equal to 5, otherwise the Yate's value is returned as "not applicable." If the Yate's value is applicable, then this value is used in determining significance, otherwise the Chi-square value is used. The critical value reported in the results box is for the level of probability reported. If probability is reported as >.05 then the critical value for the .05 level of significance is reported as .05, the minimal statistically significant level.
