Concepts

  1. Contingency X is used when we have no prior knowledge of the expected ratios in each class.

  2. Contingency X test uses the concept that if two events are independent, the product of the probability of each separate event will be the probability of both events occurring.

  3. P(A) x P(B) = P(AB), if events A and B are independent.

  4. Binomial distribution is an exact test used when the number of each class are small.
