Hi all, i need some help with research stats and was wondering if anyone caould help.

i have a stem statement and then respondents answer with strongly agree (SA), agree (A), neutral (N), disaggree (D), strongly disagree (SD).

which statistical method would i use to find out if the percentage of respondents who said strongly agree was significant?

E.G,

Pistonheads is a great website, 50% SA, 25% A, 10% N, 10% D, 5% SD

Thanks

Chi-square test maybe, with the expected value in each bucket being 20%? You'll need to then look up the P value with the appropriate number of degrees of freedom...but this will test for deviations for ALL categories away for 20%.

Or something...

thanks,

i've done much googling and it seems that a chi squared test or fischer exact test may work
