“Je différenciai trois groupes d'adénoïdes: grandes, vers 12 millimètres en projection antéro-postérieure, occupant l'espace rétropharyngien tout entier, moyennes 4–6 millimètres et petites 2–4 millimètres qui présentaient nettement la forme d'une glande.” P. 298. The fourth group contains the adenoid vegetations of size zero

The chi-square is 9.38, which is equivalent to a probability of .0022. See Pearl, R.: Introduction to Medical Biometry and Statistics, 2nd ed., Philadelphia (W. B. Saunders Co.), 1930, pp. 317–322; and Yule, G. U.: An Introduction to the Theory of Statistics, 8th ed., London (Charles Griffin & Co.), 1927, pp. 388–389
