Question

a. 1 cells (4.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected count is 4.41

According to the table, this should be statistically significant as the value is large and sig. is .000 (correct?)

the question is, the ONE CELL (4%) have expected count less than 5. Does this mean this test is overturned and it's not statistically significant? what does the message on the bottom of the table mean?? Please help.

Explanation / Answer

At least 80% of all cells need an expected count of at least 5 for a chi square test. In this case only 1 cell which is 4% of all cells has an expected count less than 5 and therefore the condition is satisfied. The test is valid and the significance value can be cosidered
