Pearson's Chi-square Test for Research AnalysisYuli Paul
油
The Chi-Square test is a powerful statistical tool used to analyze categorical data by comparing observed and expected frequencies. It helps determine whether a dataset follows an expected distribution (Goodness-of-Fit Test) or whether two categorical variables are related (Test for Independence). Being a non-parametric test, it is widely applicable but requires large sample sizes and independent observations for reliable results. While it identifies associations between variables, it does not measure causation or the strength of relationships. Despite its limitations, the Chi-Square test remains a fundamental method in statistics for hypothesis testing in various fields.

4. What is a Financial Plan?
A personal financial plan involves
specifying financial goals including the
spending, financing, and investing plans
needed to reach your goals.
The plan should spell out how to
accumulate wealth and provide for
emergencies.
5. Your goals are what drive your financial plan!
Having clear goals is important in making a plan
that works for you.
5
6. What is a Financial Plan?
A good financial plan includes 7 key
components:
Budget
Managing liquidity (your cash)
Financing large purchases
Managing risk
Investing
Planning for retirement
Communication and record keeping
10. A Plan for Your Budgeting
A budget helps you plan your spending
and saving, so you can meet your needs
and wants.
Creating a budget involves several
steps:
1. Determining your net worth
2. Establishing your income
3. Identifying your expenses
12. Step 1: Determining Your Net
Worth
Assets are anything we own, such as cars or
baseball cards
Liabilities are what we owe, or our debt
Net Worth = Assets Liabilities
(Equity means ownership)
13. Calculating net worth
13
Asset = Car worth = $5000
Liability = Amount owed on the car = -$2000
Net worth = Car value minus amount owed = $3,000
The equity would also be $3000
14. As you save money, you will accumulate
more assets (including cash)
You will also have the chance to reduce
your liabilities
Both of these will lead to increasing your
net worth
16. Step 2: Establishing Your
Income (Cash inflow)
Having an income is the major means by
which a person saves money, builds wealth,
acquires assets, and fulfills wants and needs.
Your income often depends on decisions you
make about education and career choices
In general, more education or specialized
training translates into more income
17. Math for Personal Finance A
Jamaal makes $9 an hour and works about
15 hours a week. He also gets a $25 per
week allowance
What is his total annual income?
18. Math for Personal Finance A
$9 an hour x 15 hours per week = $135 per
week x 52 weeks per year = $7,020 per year
income from his job.
$25 per week x 52 weeks per year = $1,300
per year income from his allowance.
His total annual income is equal to $7,020 +
$1,300 = $8,320
22. Step 3: Identifying Your
Expenses (Cash outflow)
When creating a budget, estimate how
much money you have going out every
month. (Fixed and variable expenses)
Typical expenses include food, clothing,
gas, utilities, entertainment
24. What will be your estimated
expenses given the goals
you laid out in your padlet?
24
26. Your budget
Go to the personal finance webpage.
Open the Financial Planning Worksheet
Do some independent research to complete the
worksheet.
Consider your ACTUAL life goals.
Open the Budget Excel Sheet
Use the information from the worksheet to complete this
budget ledger.
26
27. Do not print off your budget
excel sheet when finished.
Keep it open and ready for
the next step.
27
31. Complete April considering
the following
A close friend/relative has decided
to have a last minute destination
wedding to Ireland. You are elected
best man/ maid of honor.
Trip cost $4,000
$100 for the gift
$200 for the dress/suit
31
45. Component 2: A Plan for
Managing Your Liquidity
Liquidity assets include cash and
assets that can be quickly and
easily turned into cash.
You may have a number of
valuable assets, but if they are
not liquid, they will be of little
use to you when facing a short-
term financial need.
46. How many of did not have enough
liquidity for the friends wedding?
46
47. Component 2: A Plan for
Managing Your Liquidity
Money management involves making
decisions about how much cash or liquid
assets to keep in reserve and how much
to invest in less liquid assets, such as real
estate (buildings and land)
helps determine how much money to keep
liquid to avoid cash shortfalls
49. Credit Management
Credit Management involves making
decisions about getting credit and using
credit
Credit is commonly used to cover
immediate cash shortfalls, so it increases
liquidity
52. Credit Cards
Some lenders charge higher interest (rent)
on money than others
It is not wise to rely on credit cards if you
are not able to pay back the borrowed
money quickly.
A financial plan should contain a
credit management plan.
53. Types of Credit
Noninstallment
Installment
Revolving-Credit
53
54. Noninstallment
Short term loan
30 90 days, or a year term.
No interest charged if paid within the
time period.
Large interest if not paid in full OR late
payment received.
Dont get duped into paying interest up front.
Items usually a few hundred dollars.
54
57. Installment Credit
Credit on a specific purchase (such as
furniture, boat, etc.)
Repayment can be stretched over years.
Interest is charged to the principal.
Principal is the amount you owe on the item.
Note that the cost of the item is MORE due to
the interest.
57
58. 12 months = 12 payments for $266.55 = $3,198.60 $198.60 more
24 months = 24 payments for $141.22 = $3,389.29 $389.29 more
36 months = 36 payments for $99.64 = $3,587.04 $587.04 more
