Chi-Square Statistics

The chi-square statistic is a measure of the goodness of fit between two sets of frequencies. It is used to test whether a set of observed frequencies differs from a set of expected frequencies sufficiently to reject the hypothesis under which the expected frequencies were obtained.

In other words, you are testing whether discrepancies between the observed frequencies (Oi) and the expected frequencies (Ei) are significant, or whether they may reasonable be attributed to chance. The formula generally used is:
