Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The categories of the variable(s) being tested in a chi-square analysis must be mutually exclusive. This means that each observation or response should fit into only one category and not overlap with other categories. While there is no maximum or minimum number of categories required for a chi-square test, having too few categories can limit the usefulness of the test. However, having too many categories can make it difficult to interpret the results and may lead to cells with low expected frequencies which can impact the reliability of the test.
