2. The chi square test, with continuity correction applied for 2x2 tables ( https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/chisq.test.html); or Fisher's exact test ( https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/fisher.test.html) if expected cell totals were inadequate (as per assumptions noted in Freeman, J.V. and Julious, S.A. (2007) The analysis of categorical data. Scope, 16(1): 18-21. Further descriptions of these tests are available in statistical references. Where Fisher's exact test was used for tables larger than 2x2, the p value was generated using 'Monte Carlo simulation'.
3. The CAP intentions survey was representative of Scotland's farming population.
