Notes. Row [7] describes the result of χ2 test for sampling O–C distribution derived in a given type of data subset with 18 degrees of freedom in each case; first value represents the χ2-value, second – χ2 significance; for 18 degrees of freedom, the critical value of χ2 at a confidence level of 0.95 is equal to 28.87.
