Cross-Tabs and Chi-Square Analysis

May 30th, 2008

The Chi-square statistic is the primary statistic used for figuring out the significance of the cross-tabulation table. It is used to test for independence between the variables.  If the variables are independent of each other (or in other words they have no relation), then the Chi-Square test will be non-significant.  If the variables are found to be related, then the results of the statistical test will be "significant" and we can state that there is some relationship between the variables.
