F statistics in these measures had slight variations in the number of observations, range varied from 613-637 observations.

Range: 0-100;

5

Range: 5-50;

6

Range: 9-90;

7

Range: 0-17;

8

Range: 11-55

Chi-square tests (3df) were used for categorical variables. There are slight variations in the number of subjects that provided some of the demographic information. The largest number of missing data is in the income variable where 43 subjects did not provide responses.
