Hello, I was wondering if someone can please help me know what type of test i should apply on my frequency data. Here is situation:
I have frequency data of 45 consumers, obtained through five answer boxes for 7 samples. Consumers were asked to taste the sample and write their response about taste in the five boxes below. Their response were categorized into 4 categories, like Abstract taste for 1st answer box = 350, abstract taste for 2nd answer box = 250 and so on.
So now i want to compare abstract response from answer one to answer two and so on, so what kind of test i should use. I was thinking of chi-square test of association, but i think this test presumed independent sample to different answer boxes. What other tests could be use?
I added image also for insight.
