Note: To save space, statistical significance of differences for pair-wise comparisons is not presented. As a rule of thumb, for two independent samples each with 200 observations, a 6-percentage-point difference would be statistically significant when both percentages are either close to 100 or to zero; a 10-percentage-point difference would be statistically significant when both percentages are close to 50.
