frequencies in any of the categories (i.e., football clubs).<br />

In some cases you may not want to assign equal expected frequencies to all<br />

categories. In the example of Table 59, suppose you have obtained results from<br />

a much larger survey <strong>and</strong> you want to examine whether there are any significant<br />

differences in club preference between this study <strong>and</strong> the larger survey. Under<br />

Expected Values use Add to specify the frequencies <strong>for</strong> each club as they were<br />

reported in the larger survey. The new values are 33 <strong>for</strong> Club A, 25 <strong>for</strong> club B,<br />

21 <strong>for</strong> Club C, 16 <strong>for</strong> club D, <strong>and</strong> 5 <strong>for</strong> Club E. The order in which you enter the<br />

new values is crucial. Firstly, identify the smallest value (i.e. 9) of the test<br />

variable clubs. In the Values box enter its corresponding new value (i.e 5). Click<br />

Add <strong>and</strong> the new value will appear at the bottom of the value list. Repeat the<br />

same process with the remaining variables. The sequential order of the new<br />

values is important; it must correspond to the ascending order of the values of
