New blog post up today: How to use chi-square in Biology classes (with a focus on AP Biology)! The post includes information and examples for finding expected values, finding degrees of freedom, and drawing conclusions.
How to use Chi-square in Biology classes
Chi-square is used to evaluate whether an observed set of data matches an expected set of data. The null hypothesis is that the observed and expected are not significantly different.
