Research suggests that interface theme preferences can influence user engagement in academic environments. A researcher conducted an observational study via a university's library portal to investigate whether user role is associated with a preference for a system's default visual theme. They recorded the theme setting chosen by two distinct groups of users during their first login session of the academic term: either Dark Mode or Light Mode.
The data recorded over a 24-hour period is presented in the table below:
| Undergraduate | Postgraduate | |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Mode | 45 | 18 |
| Light Mode | 25 | 32 |
What does the analysis from the Chi-square test of association inform us regarding the choice of visual theme by the two categories of library users in this study?
