a researcher found the following table in spss. he/she should say that \n\ncountry * sports crosstabulation\n\n| | | sports | | |\n|--|--|--|--|--|--|\n| | | baseball | basketball | total |\n| country | the u.s. | count | 6 | 10 | 16 |\n| | | expected count | 7.7 | 8.3 | 16.0 |\n| | egypt | count | 6 | 6 | 12 |\n| | | expected count | 5.7 | 6.3 | 12.0 |\n| | australia | count | 10 | 8 | 18 |\n| | | expected count | 8.6 | 9.4 | 18.0 |\n| total | | count | 22 | 24 | 46 |\n| | | expected count | 22.0 | 24.0 | 46.0 |\n\nchi - square tests\n\n| | value | df | asymp. sig.
