How, i want to know too
The size of the sample should not affect the critical value.
To find the critical value of a chi-square distribution using a TI-84 Plus calculator, press the "2nd" button followed by "VARS" to access the DISTR menu. Select "invChi2(" and then input the desired area (significance level) and degrees of freedom in the format invChi2(area, df). For a right-tail test, use the area as (1 - \alpha), where (\alpha) is the significance level. The calculator will return the critical chi-square value.
The characteristics of the chi-square distribution are: A. The value of chi-square is never negative. B. The chi-square distribution is positively skewed. C. There is a family of chi-square distributions.
No.
It is the value of a random variable which has a chi-square distribution with the appropriate number of degrees of freedom.
Critical values of a chi-square test depend on the degrees of freedom.
The size of the sample should not affect the critical value.
The chi-squared test is used to compare the observed results with the expected results. If expected and observed values are equal then chi-squared will be equal to zero. If chi-squared is equal to zero or very small, then the expected and observed values are close. Calculating the chi-squared value allows one to determine if there is a statistical significance between the observed and expected values. The formula for chi-squared is: X^2 = sum((observed - expected)^2 / expected) Using the degrees of freedom, use a table to determine the critical value. If X^2 > critical value, then there is a statistically significant difference between the observed and expected values. If X^2 < critical value, there there is no statistically significant difference between the observed and expected values.

how do you find the critical value for x squared when relating it to chi squares?
No.
It is the value of a random variable which has a chi-square distribution with the appropriate number of degrees of freedom.
As the sample size increases, the critical value for a chi-square test typically decreases for a given significance level. This is because larger sample sizes provide more information, leading to a more accurate estimate of the population parameters. Consequently, the test becomes more sensitive, and smaller deviations from the null hypothesis are needed to achieve statistical significance. However, it's important to note that while critical values decrease, the chi-square statistic itself may increase with larger samples, potentially leading to significant results even for small effect sizes.

A reduced chi-square value, calculated after a nonlinear regression has been performed, is the is the Chi-Square value divided by the degrees of freedom (DOF). The degrees of freedom in this case is N-P, where N is the number of data points and P is the number of parameters in the fitting function that has been used. I have added a link, which explains better the advantages of calculating the reduced chi-square in assessing the goodness of fit of a non-linear regression equation. In fitting an equation to the data, it is possible to also "over fit", which is to account for small and random errors in the data, with additional parameters. The reduced chi-square value will increase (show a worse fit) if the addition of a parameter does not significantly improve the fit. You can also do a search on reduced chi-square value to better understand its importance.
The chi-square test is used to analyze a contingency table consisting of rows and columns to determine if the observed cell frequencies differ significantly from the expected frequencies.
