A researcher has found that pilots taking an over the counter antihistamine have poor reaction times. They performed an experiment on 22 pilots: 11 took the medication and 11 did not. Their reaction times to a command by Air Traffic Control was considered to be adequate or inadequate. Among those taking the medication, 8 were rated inadequate and 3 adequate. Among those not-taking the medication, 10 were rated adequate and only 1 inadequate. Construct a contingency table. Run the Chi-Square test for independence using the calculator in the module.
