The course wraps up with a unique twist: testing the association of two variables in a contingency table; testing if a variable is likely to come from a particular distribution. We will delve into concepts such as contingency tables, column and row percentages, observed and expected frequencies, and apply Chi-square statistics to test population proportion equality. Additionally, we will learn how to use Chi-square statistics to test the independence of two categorical variables and assess goodness of fit to determine if an observed dataset aligns with a specific distribution.
