A social science researcher conducted a Chi-square test to investigate whether there is a significant association between a student's gender and their preferred study environment (quiet library vs. group study area).
After analyzing the survey responses, the calculated value of Chi-square was found to be χ2=5.46\chi^2 = 5.46χ2=5.46. The critical value table for df=1df = 1df=1 indicates that the critical value at the p≤0.05 p \le 0.05\,p≤0.05 significance level is 3.84.
Based on these values, what conclusions can be drawn from this statistical analysis?
