Pearson's chi-squared test: Usage, Test for fit of a distribution & Derivation

Pearson's chi-squared test or Pearson's χ 2 {\displaystyle \chi ^{2}} test is a statistical test applied to sets of categorical data to evaluate how likely it is that any observed difference between the sets arose by chance. It is the most widely used of many chi-squared tests (e.g., Yates, likelihood ratio, portmanteau test in time series, etc.) –…
