A chi-squared test (symbolically represented as χ2) is basically a data analysis on the basis of observations of a random set of variables. Usually, it is a comparison of two statistical data sets.

The chi-square test is used to estimate how likely the observations that are made would be, by considering the assumption of the null hypothesis as true.

When we consider, the null speculation is true, the sampling distribution of the test statistic is called as chi-squared distribution.

The chi-squared test helps to determine whether there is a notable difference between the normal frequencies and the observed frequencies in one or more classes or categories.

P stands for probability here. To calculate the p-value, the chi-square test is used in statistics. The different values of p indicates the different hypothesis interpretation, are given below. 

I. P≤ 0.05; Hypothesis rejected.

II. P>.05; Hypothesis Accepted

The chi-squared test is done to check if there is any difference between the observed value and expected value. The formula for chi-square can be written as
