The Chi-Square goodness-of-fit and independence tests are two of the most used with categorical data. However, these tests are sometimes misinterpreted. Furthermore, there is no tutorial published in Portuguese on how to perform and interpret these tests. To fill this gap in the literature, we present a tutorial for carrying out the Chi-Square goodness-of-fit and independence tests in Excel and IBM SPSS. We used published articles and fictitious data related to the leisure area as examples. We hope to facilitate the use and correct interpretation of Chi-Square tests by researchers.
