This chart shows the distribution of requests in Previous FOI use - Never made a request before I used this site for Requests by lifestage of sender.
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 267.96 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 draws out differences between actual and expected values in this dataset (how far off this category is from the typical distribution of the wider data).
This helps to demonstrate the scale of any deviation from the general dataset. When the amount of data available is large, a difference can be statistically significant while being relatively small.
Dataframe for chart: Percentage difference
Subtitles:
A red bar means the value is higher than expected for a 'typical' request, blue means it is lower.
