Fisher's Exact Test Calculator

The exact hypergeometric p for a 2×2 table — the right test when χ² fails on small counts. The two-tailed p sums every table at most as probable as the observed one, which is not the same as doubling the one-tailed p, and the odds ratio comes with its confidence interval.

Chi-Square Test Calculatorχ² test of independence on any contingency table, showing observed, expected, the contribution and the standardised residual of every cell, plus Cramér's V. Cells with an expected count below 5 are flagged, because that is when the test stops being valid.F-Test CalculatorThree ways in: a one-way ANOVA from raw groups, a two-sample variance ratio, or a bare F with its two degrees of freedom. Each gives the p-value, the critical value at your α and the decision, from the same exact F distribution.Kruskal-Wallis Test CalculatorThe rank-based alternative to ANOVA when the data are not normal. Shows the ranks assigned, each group's rank sum, H, df and p — with the tie correction applied, which matters as soon as two values are equal.Mann-Whitney U Test CalculatorCompares two independent samples without assuming normality. Gives U₁, U₂, the rank sums, and a z corrected for both continuity and ties — with the exact distribution used instead of the normal approximation while the samples are small enough for it to matter.T-Test Calculator (Welch and Student)Paste two independent samples and get t, the degrees of freedom, the p-value, the critical value and the decision — computed BOTH ways, Welch and Student's pooled variance, with Welch as the default because it does not assume the two variances are equal. The Welch–Satterthwaite degrees of freedom are computed exactly, not rounded down. Sample means, standard deviations, the confidence interval of the difference and Cohen's d come with it.Divisibility Test CalculatorTest a number against the divisors 2 to 12, the primes up to 100 or your own list — and see the mental rule and the working, not just yes or no.Series Convergence Test CalculatorPick a series and see which test settles it — p-series, ratio, root, Leibniz, Cauchy condensation, limit comparison — with the limit it produces and whether the convergence is absolute or conditional.ANOVA Calculator (One-Way)Full one-way ANOVA table — SS, df, MS, F and p — plus η², ω² and Cohen's f, because a significant F on its own tells you nothing about how large the difference is. The equal-variance assumption is stated, not buried.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fisher's Exact Test Calculator?

The exact hypergeometric p for a 2×2 table — the right test when χ² fails on small counts. The two-tailed p sums every table at most as probable as the observed one, which is not the same as doubling the one-tailed p, and the odds ratio comes with its confidence interval.

When would I actually use this?

Summarising a dataset before drawing conclusions from it, checking whether a difference between two groups is real, and putting an interval around an estimate.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading a p-value as the probability that the hypothesis is wrong. It is the probability of seeing data at least this extreme if the null were true — a different statement, and a much weaker one.

How is Fisher's Exact Test Calculator different from Chi-Square Test Calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Chi-Square Test Calculator is the one to open when you need it to χ² test of independence on any contingency table, showing observed, expected, the contribution and the standardised residual of every cell, plus Cramér's V. Cells with an expected count below 5 are flagged, because that is when the test stops being valid. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

F-Test Calculator is the closest one after this: Three ways in: a one-way ANOVA from raw groups, a two-sample variance ratio, or a bare F with its two degrees of freedom. Each gives the p-value, the critical value at your α and the decision, from the same exact F distribution.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Kruskal-Wallis Test Calculator and Mann-Whitney U Test Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Distributions and test statistics are computed from their standard definitions, not from a lookup table, so results carry more digits than a printed table would. The assumptions each test makes are stated with it.
