Simulation of Chi-squared

 

The Chi Square is a widely used measure to draw conclusions from 2x2 cross tables.

At the chi square you get a different kind of distribution graph

Results

 

The simulations are samples without redraw from the marginals of a perceived sample.

Each simulation indicates a cross table, the Chi square indicates a dot in the distribution chart.

A distribution chart is an overview of all possible outcomes and  and the extent to which they occur. .

The distribution graph is non-symmetrical and descending to the right.

 

 

chi-squared

 

In general, values from the 95% interval are considered acceptable. That is, matching the perfect table with a chi square equal to 0. This indications that the variables do not have a (statistical) relation.

If A observed Chi Square is far from 0, it is likely that there may be a correlation between the variables. At A chi square that is beyond the 95% interval, that can hardly be any coincidence. Such a perceived value indications that the variables are most likely to have a (statistical) relationship. The variables show cohesion and are therefore dependent.

Remarkably, the 95% interval begins immediately after 0.

The area beyond the 95% interval is left and right. On the left it is quite narrow.

Observed values of chi-square indicate dependence in the right-hand outer area.
