Chi-square Test

In experiments on pea breeding, Mendel observed the different kinds of seeds obtained by crosses between round yellow seeds and wrinkled green seeds. Possible types of progeny were: “round yellow”, “wrinkled yellow”, “round green”, and “wrinkled green.” We call the data categorical when the recorded data

$\displaystyle C_1,\ldots,C_n
$

take values on several types, or categories. Then the frequency of a particular value (or type) is observed in the categorical data, and the probability of such occurrence is called the population proportion.
