How to Use the Chi-Square Tables

Chi-Square tables are used to determine the critical value for the Chi-Square distribution, which is commonly used in hypothesis testing, such as goodness-of-fit tests, independence tests, and variance analysis. Follow these steps to interpret the Chi-Square tables:

  1. Select the Significance Level (α): Identify the significance level for your test. Common values are 0.01, 0.05, or 0.1, and corresponding tables are available on this page.
  2. Find the Degrees of Freedom: Determine the degrees of freedom for your test. This depends on:
    • Goodness-of-fit test: The number of categories minus one.
    • Independence test: (Number of rows – 1) × (Number of columns – 1) in a contingency table.
  3. Locate the Critical Value: In the Chi-Square table:
    • Find the row corresponding to your degrees of freedom (df).
    • Find the column corresponding to your chosen significance level (α).
    • The intersection of the row and column gives the critical Chi-Square value for your test.

Use this critical value to compare against your calculated Chi-Square statistic:

  • If the calculated Chi-Square value is greater than the critical Chi-Square value, reject the null hypothesis.
  • If the calculated Chi-Square value is less than or equal to the critical Chi-Square value, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
