What Is a Good Chi Square Value

In general a p value of 0.05 or greater is considered critical, anything less means the deviations are significant and the hypothesis being tested must be rejected. When conducting a chi-square test, this is the number of individuals anticipated for a particular phenotypic class based upon ratios from a hypothesis.

Is a high or low chi squared value good?

The chi-squared statistic is a single number that tells you how much difference exists between your observed counts and the counts you would expect if there were no relationship at all in the population. … A low value for chi-square means there is a high correlation between your two sets of data.

How do you interpret chi-square results?

Put simply, the more these values diverge from each other, the higher the chi square score, the more likely it is to be significant, and the more likely it is we’ll reject the null hypothesis and conclude the variables are associated with each other.
