Step 1
A categorical variable's distribution in two or more populations (or subgroups of a population) is compared using the homogeneity test to see if they share the same distribution.
Step 2
For chi-square tests based on two-way tables (both the test of independence and the test of homogeneity), the degrees of freedom are calculated using the following formula: df = (r-1)(c-1) where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns.
