P-Value Calculator from Chi-Square Test
The P-Value Calculator from Chi-Square Test is a statistical tool used to interpret the results of hypothesis testing. By comparing the chi-square statistic with the degrees of freedom, the p-value helps determine the likelihood that the observed results occurred by chance. The formula for the chi-square test p-value involves the chi-square value and degrees of freedom (df) with statistical tables or software to calculate the p-value. This tool is valuable in testing relationships between categorical variables.
How to Use P-Value Calculator from Chi-Square Test
To use this calculator, enter the chi-square test statistic and the degrees of freedom (df) for your dataset. Click "Calculate" to display the p-value, which indicates the probability that the observed data results occurred under the null hypothesis. The p-value provides insights into statistical significance. Use the "Clear" button to reset the fields and perform another calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a p-value in a chi-square test?
A p-value in a chi-square test indicates the probability that the observed results occurred by chance, helping to assess statistical significance.
2. How is p-value related to hypothesis testing?
P-value helps determine whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing. Lower p-values indicate less likelihood that the results are due to chance.
3. What is a good p-value threshold?
A common threshold is 0.05, meaning if the p-value is below 0.05, the results are statistically significant, suggesting the null hypothesis may be rejected.
4. Can this calculator be used for all chi-square tests?
Yes, this calculator can be used for any chi-square test as long as you have the chi-square statistic and degrees of freedom.
5. Why are degrees of freedom important?
Degrees of freedom affect the p-value, as they account for the number of values free to vary in the dataset, influencing the result's precision.
6. Is p-value always between 0 and 1?
Yes, p-value ranges from 0 to 1. Values closer to 0 suggest less likelihood of the null hypothesis being true, while values near 1 suggest higher likelihood.
7. What does a high p-value indicate?
A high p-value suggests that the observed data could have occurred under the null hypothesis, meaning no significant effect or relationship was found.
8. How can I interpret a low p-value?
A low p-value (< 0.05) suggests that the observed results are unlikely under the null hypothesis, indicating a statistically significant effect.
9. Does this calculator support two-tailed tests?
Yes, the p-value calculation here is suitable for two-tailed tests, as chi-square tests are typically non-directional by nature.
10. Can I use this calculator for different sample sizes?
Yes, this calculator can handle different sample sizes, as it depends on the chi-square statistic and degrees of freedom, not directly on sample size.
