H0: there is no relationship between gender and belief about human origins
Ha: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human originsH0: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human origins
Ha: there is no relationship between gender and belief about human origins
Ha: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human originsH0: there is a relationship between gender and belief about human origins

---|---|---|---|
male | 30 | 36 | 66 |
female | 104 | 89 | 193 |
total | 134 | 125 | 259 |
