42. 'Chi square test' measures which of the following?

Correct Answer: (b) Goodness of fit
Solution:

Chi square test is a statistical test used to compare observed results with expected results. It is useful for analyzing differences between observed and expected data. The objective of this test is to determine if a difference between observed data and expected data is due to chance, or if it is due to a relationship between the variables.
Chi-square tests often refer to tests for which the distribution of the test statistic approaches the x² distribution asymptotically meaning that the sampling distribution (if the Null hypothesis is true) of the test statistic approximates a x² distribution more closely as sample sizes increase.
