To get the ball rolling... one reason why people may not be responding to your post is that you do not provide necessary info to respond.  You present a table but do not tell us what it represents, how it was constructed, what it is supposed to tell you wrt to any hypotheses relevant to your study...So ...?
I'm not sure "never engage a statistician" is really the point.  For some, engaging a statistician is on the same level of pain as consulting a plumber when your pipes get clogged, a dentist when your teeth hurt, a lawyer when you need justice... After all, you wouldn't try to extract your own bullet if you got shot?

Hi David,
Thank you. Will re look at the methodology. Lesson learnt never engage a statistician, I mean not all if I myself have no idea what I am doing.
