Observed is the expected results

==(o-e)^2 /e= 0.73==

==OUR LAB:==

Add up all 3 trials

Find Averages

Expected 15 on both sides

==Degrees of freedom are equal to the number of distinct possible outcomes minus 1==

df=2-1=1

critical value 3.84

If o-e is smaller than the difference between the 2 groups means the more similar they are

x^2= 1.46<_3.84

there is NOT A STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE

p value is the confidence level
