The chi-square test built-in formula in the MS- Excel produces conditional values, The results of this test do not jive with the result using the manual calculations, Thus, sophistication of data must be practiced.2, There is no built- in tool for Chi- Square Test in our Data Analysis toolpak. tnt tame Ye Me 3 Bomom OF ip ae | ease tes Sct ans aces ME te 3.

Select Add-Ins, dick MegaStat, Scroll down and locate Chi-Square/ Crosstab, then Contingency Table so we can solve for the Expected Values. You will notice now that there are also formula for solving the previous topics like descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, ANOVA, Correlation and regression and other more topics.40. A contingency table test for independence will appear. Highlights all the data given/ observe values. For the Output Options, check chi-square and expected values. 11, Click Ok and a new worksheet named Output will appear.44, Click Ok and a new worksheet named Output will appear.can now interpret the results of the output, The chi-square value of 1.55 is the computed value. The degree of freedom is 4. ocate the value’ of df = 4 in the chi-square table under 0.01 in appendix D. The tabular value is 13.277. Compare now the computed to the tabular value, that is1.55 < 13.277. Therefore we will accept Ho, College academic grade does not depends on the high school NCAE results. ‘or the p-value that is 0.8181, compare this to 0.01 level of significance. If p-value > 0.01, Accept Ho. The MegaStat function is also capable of solving statistical problems that were previously discussed.
