Data Analyzed Using the Trichotomous-Squared Three by Three Table designed to analyze the research questions from an Inventive Investigative Instrument with the following Trichotomous Categorical Variables: a₁ = Successful via: Impact, and Positive Testing [the summation of the outcomes of the assessment instrument item 1]; a₂ = Made a Difference via: Participation, and Graduation Rate [the summation of the outcomes of the assessment instrument item 2]; and a₃ = Aided in Retention via: Drop Out Rate, and Attendance [the summation of the outcomes of the assessment instrument item 3]. The 3 × 3 Table has the following Trichotomous Outcome Variables: b₁ = Yes; b₂ = No; and b₃ = Unknown. The Inputted Qualitative Outcomes are reported as follows:
