Abstract: Diagnosis of ADHD using Statistical measures is proposed in this paper. An ADHD data set with 105 samples based on different ages ranging from 6 to 9 and gender (Male & Female) is collected and classified into noADHD, moderateADHD and highADHD by using statistical parameters like mean and standard deviation. The ADHD may be caused by different factors like age, gender, and brain damage, etc. In this research work, only two factors namely age and gender are taken to find the goodness of fit for the data collected and to examine that whether these parameters have any significance for the cause of ADHD. The Tests of Independence between these variables are carried out by Chi-Square Test and the results are discussed and analyzed. From this test it has been concluded that age has no significance for the cause of ADHD but Gender has significance ie, AGE and ADHD are independent but Gender and ADHD are dependent variables.
