Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Chi-square test of independence checks whether two variables are likely to be related or not. We have counts for two categorical or nominal variables. We also have an idea that the two variables are not related. The test gives us a way to decide if our idea is plausible or not.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chi-square (2) goodness of fit test is a goodness of fit test for a categorical variable. Goodness of fit is a measure of how well a statistical model fits a set of observations. When goodness of fit is high, the values expected based on the model are close to the observed values.
