ps and p′s stand for p-levels in the Pearson’s χ 2 goodness-of-fit test. ps are for hypothesis of discrete uniform distribution of male choices (df = 4). p′s are for hypothesis of proportional frequencies for 2nd and 3rd intervals versus the other three intervals (df = 1). Calculations considered that the last range is wider than the others (6- vs. 5-category)
