Describe the chi-square goodness-of-fit test

The purpose of this discussion is to allow you to consider how various non-parametric tests are used and how they compare to other tests with similar variables. To do this, you will need to identify the appropriate application of course-specified statistical tests, examine assumptions and limitations of course-specified statistical tests, and communicate in writing critiques of statistical tests.

• Describe the chi-square goodness-of-fit test.
• Provide a detailed explanation of what this test measures, and how it is similar to and different from the independent t-test and the chi-square test of independence.
• How do you know when to use one analysis over the other? Provide a real-world example.

Your initial post must use a minimum of one scholarly source (i.e., textbook or journal article located in the Ashford University Library or on Google Scholar that is cited and referenced according to APA style), as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
