Chi-square analysis compares the counts of two categorical variables to tell you if a relationship exists between the variables or not. You can apply chi-square analysis to answer important questions about factors in everyday life, and even about events like elections... or Halloween. If you are a character in a slasher film, is there a connection between your gender and your dying in some horrible manner?
1. Propose a life event or situation and two categorical variables for it. Complete a chi-square analysis of this event or situation and these variables, and share your results.
2. Do you agree with your findings? Why or why not?
