In northern Europe, there are two species of flycatcher: the collared flycatcher and the pied flycatcher that sometimes hybridizes (I.e. a male from one species will mate with a female of the other species). A study done by Veen et al. 2001 measured the frequencies of different combinations of mated pairs within and between species. Do males and females mate indiscriminately, independent of species? The numbers of pairs observed are listed in the following table: Female collared Female pied Male collared 5567 84 Male pied 72 172 So far Ive been able to find that its chi-squared analysis of independence and df=1 and significanace level=0.05 and the critical value= 3.841. Question: If our test statistic = 2664.6, what is the appropriate outcome of this analysis? Be sure to provide evidence for any statements you claim
