Problem 4

A wildlife research group surveyed a sample of individuals about their experiences with birdwatching. Participants were asked whether they had ever seen a rare bird in the wild. The results are shown in the table below:
"Table showing birdwatching survey results: Males Yes 32, No 48; Females Yes 44, No 36."
Test the claim that gender is independent of having seen a rare bird using a 0.01 0.01 significance level. Does the conclusion change if the significance level is instead 0.050.05?
