It means the data deviated a large amount from the model or from what you thought.

Are the mean and median equal in a chi-square distribution?

No.


If the chi-square is very large what does it mean?

The null hypothesis in a chi-square goodness-of-fit test states that the sample of observed frequencies supports the claim about the expected frequencies. So the bigger the the calculated chi-square value is, the more likely the sample does not conform the expected frequencies, and therefore you would reject the null hypothesis. So the short answer is, REJECT!


What is difference between chi square and reduced chi square?

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.


How does the difference between fe and fo influence the outcome of a chi-square test?

The larger the difference, the larger the value of chi-square and the greater the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis


What will produce a large value for the chi-square statistic?

A chi-square statistic can be large if either there is a large difference between the observed and expected values for one or more categories. However, it can also be large if the expected value in a category is very small. In the first case, it is likely that the data are not distributed according to the null hypothesis. In the second case, it can often mean that that, because of low expected values, adjacent categories need to be combined before the chi-square statistic is calculated.


How do you calculate a chi square using excel 2007?

For each category, you should have an observed value and an expected value. Calculate (O-E)2 / E for each cell. Add the values across the categories. That is your chi-square test statistic.
