E1,1 = (400 * 450) / 1000 = 180000/1000 = 180
E1,2 = (400 * 450) / 1000 = 180000/1000 = 180
E1,3 = (400 * 100) / 1000 = 40000/1000 = 40
E2,1 = (600 * 450) / 1000 = 270000/1000 = 270
E2,2 = (600 * 450) / 1000 = 270000/1000 = 270
E2,3 = (600 * 100) / 1000 = 60000/1000 = 60
Find x2 = 16.2
?2 = (200 – 180)2/180 + (150 – 180)2/180 + (50 – 40)2/40 + (250 – 270)2/270 + (300 – 270)2/270 + (50 – 60)2/60
?2 = 2.22 + 5.00 + 2.50 + 1.48 + 3.33 + 1.67 = 16.2
Results: REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS ENDER AND VOTING PREFERENCES ARE RELATED
