  1. Number of categories (k) = 8; Sample size (n) = 159; Degree of freedom (df) = 7; Chi (χ2) Square = \(\sum\nolimits_{{{\text{i}} = 1}}^{{\text{n}}} {\frac{{\left( {{\text{O}}_{{\text{i}}} - {\text{E}}_{{\text{i}}} } \right)}}{{{\text{E}}_{{\text{i}}} }}}\)  = 0.6891; Phi (φ) effect = \(\sqrt {\frac{{{\upchi }^{2} }}{{\text{n}}}}\)  = 0.06583.
