Note:

Significance is shown above the chi-square test-result in each cell; degree of freedom =1 in each case; ( 3.84 <= chi-square < 6.63) for significance 0.05 (shown in green) and chi-square >= 6.63 for significance 0.01 (shown in red). Brackets indicate that one or more expected values in the test was less than the recommended 5.
