Section 6.3 Reporting the Results

So, how do we write up the results based on our test?

🔗

We conducted a chi-squared test to examine the null hypothesis, which posited no association between using credit cards for online purchases in the past 12 months and gender. Our analysis failed to reject the null hypothesis, suggesting no statistically significant association between the two variables [$\chi^2(1) = 0.54\text{;}$ $p > .05$].

🔗

For a demonstration of how a chi-square test is applied and reported, I recommend reviewing the work of Choi and Han (2022). Their study provides a clear example of applying and reporting a chi-square test using the data from NCVS.
