    Non-parametric test? Or something else?



    Hi there, I was wondering about something. Here's my problem:

    If I have three choices and they're chosen as follows:
    Choice 1: 40%
    Choice 2: 30%
    Choice 3: 30%

    Number of people who chose: 1.000


    Then I have the sam three choices at some other time and they're chosen as follows:
    Choice 1: 38%
    Choice 2: 33%
    Choice 3: 29%

    Number of people who chose: 1.500


    Isn't there a non parametric test I can use to test the hypothesis that those percentages are the same between those two observations?
