Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chi-square statistic is a measure of the difference between the observed frequencies in the cross-tabulation and the expected frequencies under the null hypothesis of no association. A large chi-square value indicates a significant association between the two variables. The other options (contingency coefficient, Cramer's V, and phi coefficient) are measures of the strength of association but do not directly test for statistical significance.
