Dear list:  Below is a crosstabs output and includes subscript letters which is new

Feature in spss. Compare column proportions which is presented in the Cell Display tab.

 If I look at Column Y 1 and read down the percent we have 62.5% and 37.5% and then for Column

Y 2 we have 25% and 75% but the subscripts for Column 1 Y are all a’s and for Column 2 Y the

Subscripts are all b’s. So does this mean that 62.5% is sign.  Different from 25.0% and that 37.5%

Is sign. Different from 75%.  ??
