DEF

[Test] concernant la validité du choix de la courbe [qui est basé] sur l'écart entre les fréquences observées ou calculées des valeurs et les fréquences théoriques ou estimées des mêmes valeurs. [...]

OBS

«khi» : Appellation, en grec ancien, de la lettre grecque «x» en minuscule et «X» en majuscule. De nos jours, on rencontre fréquemment l'écriture chi; dans les deux cas on prononce «ki».

OBS

Dans «x2», pour «x carré», le chiffre 2 se place en exposant.

OBS

Comme l'adjectif «carré» remplace «exposant deux», nous croyons qu'il est préférable de ne pas mettre de trait d'union entre ce dernier et «khi» (ou «chi»).
