Select a random sample and record the observed frequency, f i, for each of the k categories. frequency, f i, for each of the k categories. 3. Assuming H 0 is true, compute the expected frequency, e i, in each category by multiplying the frequency, e i, in each category by multiplying the category probability by the sample size. category probability by the sample size.

Note: The test statistic has a chi-square distribution with k – 1 df provided that the expected frequencies are 5 or more for all categories. Note: The test statistic has a chi-square distribution with k – 1 df provided that the expected frequencies are 5 or more for all categories. f i = observed frequency for category i e i = expected frequency for category i k = number of categories where:
