Abstract: The amount of food sales, food stamp redemptions, and cash/check receipts for all retail food stores which participated in the Food Stamp Program in fiscal 1976 were analyzed according to region, kind, and size of store. Differences among the distributions were identified to ascertain the extent to which any region, kind, or size of store received a greater proportion of the total value of food stamps redeemed than it had of the total value of cash/checks received for the same fiscal year. Differences were tested to determine if they might be attributed to chance.
