Chi-Square problem

[duckie]

I am trying to run a Chi-Square Test of Independence on this data. The data consists of countries and their unemployment and literacy rate. I am trying to test if they are dependent or not. Please help me soon. I don't know how to make the cut offs for the table to work

One, which is your X variable? Because I feel like literacy rate should be Also I'm not sure what you mean by but offs. For a chi squared test you need your observed values in a contingency table and then your expected value in another contingency table.

For the literacy rate you could group it into like 45%-50%, 51%-55%, 56%-60% and then for the unemployment it could just be maybe 0%-5%, 6%-10% etc. Then when you go to fill in these tables you put in their frequency. Also the countries won't matter for this test, they aren't a variable

Hope this answered the question because I don't know what your asking to be honest

I guess what I'm asking is, how is this possible? The literacy rate percentiles are between 70% and 100%, while the unemployment rates are between

1% and 30%.

The ranges don't have to match.

I can send you how i did mine if you want? Probably better to see than explain.

I would love to see how it works.
