Answer:

Chi-squared statistical test

Step-by-step explanation:

Chi-squared statistical test is used in categorical data. The chi-squared statistical test is used for testing the amount by which the expected counts differ from the observed counts.

The​ chi-square distribution provides a good approximation to the sampling distribution of the​ chi-square statistic if the expected count in each cell is​ five or higher.

Large values of the​ chi-square statistic​ indicate that One should be suspicious of the null hypothesis.
