For a particular category, we find the difference between expected and observed frequency to differ by 25 points. This will tend to make chi-square large if A) the difference is positive B) the difference is negative C) f_e is small D) f_o is small

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chi-square statistic is calculated as the sum of the squared differences between observed and expected frequencies divided by the expected frequency. If the expected frequency (f_e) is small, the division by a small number will make the chi-square value larger.
