Answer 1

Solution: Chi-Squared test is a statistic that is being used by the researchers and data analysts to check the validity of a particular hypothesis. It is important in rejecting or accepting the hypothesis. Onchuri et. al. studied the applications of the Chi-Squared test and the areas in which it should not be used. The main focus of the study was to come up with a general idea to understand the loopholes and their remedies associated with the chi-squared test in a better way. In order to understand these loopholes, he reviewed the literature and also surveyed the effect of the statistic on the parameters such as the test of frequency, goodness of fit, homogeneity, independence, etc. He also proposed a general chi-squared model that can be used by scientists, researchers, and analysts all across the world to perform the data analysis without getting stuck in these loopholes.
