According to the Webster's Dictionary, statistics is the "mathematics of
the collection, organization, and interpretation of numerical data." The
goal of statistics is to make judgements based on data. A perfect example is
the ability of network news to predict the outcome of elections before the
polls close.
The statistician uses many techniques in the analysis of information. Chi
Square is one such method. The basic idea behind Chi Square is to find out if
a set of numbers just happened to occur the way they did by chance or if there
was some other factor which may have influenced them. This tutorial provides
step by step instruction in the use of the Chi Square method of analysis.
Once you have completed the tutorial, you can exercise your new-found
knowledge by putting together additional sets of test data to analyze.
