The given table shows the responses broken down by the respondents' and their current status.
Chi-square independence test:
The chi-square is a non-parametric test which is used for comparing two categorical variables. The chi-square independence test helps in determining the relationship between categorical variables. It is used for determining whether the variables are related or not.
The variables 'responses broken down by the respondents' and 'current status' are categorical. The chi-square independence test can be used for determining relation between these two variables using the expected frequencies.
Thus, the appropriate test would be Chi-square test for association/independence.
