A Chi-square distribution is the sum of squares of the standard normal deviates. The Chi-square test (goodness of fit test, the test of independence or the test of homogeneity) can be used for checking the association between categorical variables.
The assumptions for these chi-square tests are:
1. The sampling method should be simple random sampling (normality).
2. The variables should be categorical in nature.
3. The expected value of the number of sample observations inn each level of the variable is at least 5.
Therefore, the expected frequencies for each cell needs to be at least 5 in order to use the goodness of fit test, the test of independence or the test of homogeneity, that are the different variations of the chi-square test.
