A very basic statistical problem, i fear, but i can't get it solved. I
have collected data on the occurence of pathology at female ovaries,
and graded them according to the severity. Left: 1: 91, 2: 31, 3: 7,
4:3; Right: 1:66, 2:28, 3:6, 4:3; totals: left: 132, right: 103. All
data are collected on females who present with fertility problems
(which could case a certain bias). To the best of my knowledge, no-one
has documented a 50/50 spread between left and right (normally there
should be no pathology! though some asymptomatic women are probably
around). Q: 1/Which test should I use to compare left vs right againsi
grading (if i can due to the difference in spread among grades?!)?
2/Can I say that left is significantly more affected than right?
(which test, based on which presumptions)? Thanks a lot!!
