But it modifies what your test means. It's not that vegetable consumption depends on sex, it's that sex in a couple influences vegetable consumption. | |

So one member of each pair is the "male" member and the other is the "female" member - making 40 pairs. Then I could just find the number of discordant pairs and compute a p-value. Would doing that give me better results or using a chi-square/Fisher exact test? | |
