How to use Minitab for Chi Squared tests.

Suppose that the Observed data is

Men
Women

Vote for Hillary

16
60

Not vote for Hillary

85
140

You can use Minitab to get the test statistic and the p-value.
1. Enter the data (not the totals) into Minitab:

2. In Minitab select
Stat BasicStatistics Tables Chi Square Test

3. Select the columns that hold the table and click OK

4. In the output window you will see:

Chi-Square Test: C1, C2
Expected counts are printed below observed counts
Chi-Square contributions are printed below expected counts

Chi-Sq = 7.128, DF = 1, P-Value = 0.008

The two tables Observed and Expected are superimposed on one

another.

The Chi-Sq statistic

(O E )

E
is given as 7.128

The degrees of freedom is 1

The p-value is .008--- which is very small.
