thanks... this definitely cleared my confusion...

[sandritamec]

exactly what i needed for my dissertation analysis, thank you so much

[PriyankTapuria]

Thank you for this. Can we get more such short topics more frequently.

[niadhi]

difference is the way they are calculated. Both do the same job which is compare proportions. If both are there pick fisher exact test

[angalarchi]

Would it be appropriate to use the Fisher's Exact Test to measure the goodness of fit for my observed data?

[leliaglass]

thank you! just what I was looking for!

[Idontwantthis]

it's funny; to summarise fisher's test is exact, whereas chisquare is an approximation
