This chart shows the distribution of requests in Message concern - All people in the nation or all people in the world for Previously made an FOI request.

This analysis has used a chi-square test to examine the differences between this distribution and how it would be expected to be distributed if behaved identically to the general dataset (all requests).

The test statistic is 385.35 and the p-value is <0.00001.

As each graph only explores the interaction of two variables analysis may be incomplete or misleading where other variables interact with both. A relationship can be statistically significant without necessarily implying one causes the other.

Columns in Red and Blue have at least a 95% chance of a real difference from the general dataset and at least a 1% different from the expected value.

Red means a category has more reports than expected. Blue means it has less.


This chart is a monochrome version of the above for showing the pattern without comparisons to the general scene.
