*** Univariate Chi-squared test (freeware) *** by Daniel J. Bishop *** danb2k@hotmail.com from the Statistics Toolkit, version 3.0 http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/124/12456.html The TI-83 has a bivariate chi-squared test built in, but, for some strange reason, there is now univariate chi-squared test. Unless, of course, you have this program. *** Using this Program *** First, store observed counts in one list. ex: {8, 14, 20, 20, 24, 41, 20, 29, 10, 9, 5} -> L1 Next, store expected counts in another list. You may do this in one of three ways: 1. absolute expected frequency ex: {5.56, 11.11, 16.67, 22.22,27.78, 33.33, 27.78, 22.22, 16.67, 11.11, 5.56} -> L2 2. relative expected frequency ex: {.0278, .0556, .0833, .1111, .1389, .1667, .1389, .1111, .0833, .0556, .0278} -> L2 3. any values proportional to expected frequency ex: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1} -> L2 Now, run the CHISQ program and enter the appropriate lists. ex: OBSERVED: L1 EXPECTED: L2 The calculator will now display something like: MEC=5.555555556 df=10 X²=12.361 p=.26162229 explanation of the output: MEC=minimum expected count. Often used to determine whether there is sufficient data for a chi-squared test. df=degrees of freedom X²=chi-squared test statistic. p=probability of obtaining a X² value at least as high as the one observed if the expected counts accurately represent the population.
