    The Chi-Square test in Excel calculates the p-value to determine if differences between observed and expected values are statistically significant, but does not directly return the Chi-Square test statistic (X2). To perform the test in Excel, enter observed and expected frequencies and use the CHITEST function, which will return a very small p-value if the differences are significant at the 0.05 level, as in the car color preference example.

    Chi-Square Test

    Excel does not return the value of X , it only returns the p-value to tell you whether the Chi-Square test is
    2

    significant or not. For example, if you want to calculate the car color preference example from the
    lecture (Expected purchase number is listed as 25 for each color category of cars, and the numbers on
    the last row show the actual observed purchase), you will need to follow the steps below:

    1. Enter the numbers in Excel

    Red Blue Black White

    Expected Frequency 25 25 25 25
    Observed Frequency 48 15 10 27

    2. Click on a blank cell where you want the p-value to show.


    3. Type =CHITEST(A3:D3, A2:D2)

    You will see that p-value is around 0.00000017 (or the scientific notation is 1.69575E-07) and it
    shows the difference between the observed and expected preferences are statistically significant at 0.05
    level.
