What is the relationship between p-value and chi-square?
The P-value is the area under the density curve of this chi-square distribution to the right of the value of the test statistic. The final step of the chi-square test of significance is to determine if the value of the chi-square test statistic is large enough to reject the null hypothesis.
What p-values means?
probability value
A p-value, or probability value, is a number describing how likely it is that your data would have occurred under the null hypothesis of your statistical test.
How is p-value calculated in chi square test?
The calculator returns the cumulative probability, so to find the p-value we can simply use 1 – 0.98303 = 0.01697. Since the p-value (0.01697) is less than our alpha level of 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of our test.
Do you want small or large p-value?
A p-value measures the probability of obtaining the observed results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. The lower the p-value, the greater the statistical significance of the observed difference. A p-value of 0.05 or lower is generally considered statistically significant.
Why is the p-value significant?
The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence that you should reject the null hypothesis. A p-value less than 0.05 (typically ≤ 0.05) is statistically significant. It indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, as there is less than a 5% probability the null is correct (and the results are random).
Why does low p-value mean?
A low p-value shows that the results are replicable. A low p-value shows that the effect is large or that the result is of major theoretical, clinical or practical importance. A non-significant result, leading us not to reject the null hypothesis, is evidence that the null hypothesis is true.
What is the p-value of the chi square test of independence?
The P-value is the probability that a chi-square statistic having 2 degrees of freedom is more extreme than 16.2. We use the Chi-Square Distribution Calculator to find P(Χ2 > 16.2) = 0.0003.
When the p-value is less than the significance or alpha level we?
If a p-value is lower than our significance level, we reject the null hypothesis.
What does a large p-value mean?
High p-values indicate that your evidence is not strong enough to suggest an effect exists in the population. An effect might exist but it’s possible that the effect size is too small, the sample size is too small, or there is too much variability for the hypothesis test to detect it.
