 I tried to do chi square test for the following observed frequencies

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A  B
A  8  4
B 12 10
 
SAS gave the following output which value and probability should be taken in this case
   
                                                              The FREQ Procedure

                                                   Statistics for Table of TRTGRP by ERR_ORD

                                            Statistic                     DF       Value      Prob
                                            ------------------------------------------------------
                                            Chi-Square                     1      0.4710    0.4925
                                            Likelihood Ratio Chi-Square    1      0.4769    0.4898
                                            Continuity Adj. Chi-Square     1      0.1035    0.7477
                                            Mantel-Haenszel Chi-Square     1      0.4571    0.4990
                                            Phi Coefficient                       0.1177
                                            Contingency Coefficient               0.1169
                                            Cramer's V                            0.1177

                                             WARNING: 25% of the cells have expected counts less
                                                      than 5. Chi-Square may not be a valid test.

Chi Square. 

You should check the Fisher statistic as well, as per the warning.

Reeza thanks for the response i did Fisher's exact test too,so what will be the probability value in this case


                                                              The FREQ Procedure

                                                   Statistics for Table of TRTGRP by ERR_ORD

                                                             Fisher's Exact Test
                                                      ----------------------------------
                                                      Cell (1,1) Frequency (F)         8
                                                      Left-sided Pr <= F          0.8533
                                                      Right-sided Pr >= F         0.3766

                                                      Table Probability (P)       0.2300
                                                      Two-sided Pr <= P           0.7170

Last number 0.7170

 

By the way, what does you subject line have to do with your question?

Sorry if subject line caused some sort of confusiion.My primary doubt was whether to take  (Yates) Continuity Adj. Chi-Square or normal Chi-Square.
