[Ethan Johnsons]

I am getting "Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect in:
chisq.test(x)"  with the data bleow.

Frequency distribution of number of male offspring in families of size 5.
Number of Male Offspring 	N
0 		                          518
1 		                         2245

        Pearson's Chi-squared test

data:  x
X-squared = 40.4672, df = 5, p-value = 1.202e-07

Warning message:
Chi-squared approximation may be incorrect in: chisq.test(x)

Does the warning mean that chisq.test(x) can't be used for this data.

If chisq.test(x) can't be used for this data, which test is to be used?

Pls advise.

thx
