First, let's solve step by step manually. We have a 5×5 table comparing Method-I and Method-II with categories: None, Mild, Moderate, Severe, Extreme. Let’s denote these categories as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively. Step 1: Compute totals Row totals (Method-II): * None: 89 + 5 + 16 + 2 + 4 = 116 * Mild: 36 + 3 + 15 + 6 + 2 = 62 * Moderate: 20 + 4 + 22 + 6 + 1 = 53 * Severe: 14 + 2 + 37 + 18 + 16 = 87 * Extreme: 4 + 1 + 16 + 23 + 50 = 94 Column totals (Method-I): * None: 89 + 36 + 20 + 14 + 4 = 163 * Mild: 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15 * Moderate: 16 + 15 + 22 + 37 + 16 = 106 * Severe: 2 + 6 + 6 + 18 + 23 = 55 * Extreme: 4 + 2 + 1 + 16 + 50 = 73 Grand total N = sum of all = 116 + 62 ____ _____ _______ ________ _____ _________ _____ _______ ____ _________.
