Chi square tests do not distinguish between oneand two taile

Chi square tests do not distinguish between one-and two tailed tests because no negative values are possible.
True or False?

Solution

False

chi square goodness of fit tests are always one side not because of negative value.

If we were to use the chi-squared test as a two-sided test, we would also be worried if the statistic were too far into the left side of the chi-squared distribution. This would mean that we are worried the fit might be too good. This is simply not something we are typically worried about

But chi-square is also used for testing variance, and there we do have 2-sided hypothesis.
