My variable represents the outcome of a mock-election, between three different parties(so categorical). My hypothesis is that with the information presented to the subjects, a majority will vote for party A. A simple frequency table shows that indeed most subjects (75 percent) voted for party A. Does this confirm my hypothesis/reject the 0-Hypothesis, or is there a test that I should do to show if this majority is significant? I have the feeling that there is such a test, but can not seem to figure out which one it is and how to do it in spss. Can anyone here give me advice on that? Thank you!
