When we carry out a chi-square test of independence, as the difference between the respective observed and expected frequencies decrease, the probability of concluding that the row variable is independent of the column variable:
--------------------------
As the observed approaches the expected the Chi-Sq decreases.
The probability of rejecting Ho decreases.
The probability of independence increases.
