Is the chi squared test used for continuous/discontinuous data? I think its continuous.
did you look it up to see?
yes but i couldn't find a definitive answer?
The chi-squared test is typically used to analyze categorical data that can be categorized into different groups or levels. This means that it is most commonly used for analyzing discontinuous or categorical data rather than continuous data.
To determine whether the chi-squared test is appropriate for a particular analysis, you should consider the nature of your data. If your data is in the form of categories or groups, such as responses to survey questions or counts of occurrences within different categories, then the chi-squared test is likely suitable for your analysis.
On the other hand, if your data is measured along a continuous scale, such as height or weight, then other statistical tests, such as t-tests or ANOVA, may be more appropriate for analyzing your data.
