Based on seven years of data collected by Transport Canada, 72% of all bird strikes on moving aircraft involve gulls, sparrows, swallows, or snow buntings. The accompanying table is based on a random selection of bird strikes on planes, by other species than those just mentioned. Test the claim that the all the other bird species are involved in bird strikes with equal frequencies. Use the 0.05 level of significance. Would your results support a policy of focusing bird-strike prevention programs on particular species of birds? Why or why not?
