The reasons for the use of the simple percentage is to present and interpret the responses from respondents while hypotheses were tested using the Chi-square. The reasons for the use of the Chi-Square is based on the fact that it enables the researcher to compare observed and expected frequencies objectively, since it is not always possible to tell just by looking at them whether they are “different enough” to be considered statically significant.
