Spot the flaw. After golden monkeys fight with each other, opponents seem to reconcile. Ren et al. (1991) tested whether the behavior of golden monkeys after spontaneous conflicts differed from behavior at normal times. They recorded a large number of behaviors between individuals in two troops with a total of nine monkeys, both after aggressive interactions and not after aggressive interactions (“control” periods). The observed frequencies of behaviors are given in the following table. The team carried out a contingency test on these frequencies as given and rejected the null hypothesis that behaviors occurred at similar frequencies after conflicts compared to control periods. The expected values in this test are not large enough to justify a  test, but can you identify another problem with this analysis?
