Knowing that African elephants are afraid of bees and that Kenyan farmers have successfully used hives to keep elephants from stomping crops, researchers wondered if the same technique would work for Asian elephants.A study published in Current Biology (https://www.cell.com/current-biology/references/S0960-9822(07)01718-6) "used a recording of a disturbed hive of cavity-dwelling Asian honey bees and conducted sound playbacks to 120 wild elephants in family groups resting under trees in Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka."

Bee sounds were played for 17 resting families of elephants, and 16 of them moved within 80 seconds of sound onset.Waterfall white noise was played for a 15 resting families, and 4 of them moved within 80 seconds.

a) Within the context of the study, clearly explain whether this is an observational study or an experiment as you would to a friend who has never studied statistics.

b) Is the proportion of elephants who move away from bee sounds within 80 seconds significantlygreaterthan those who move away from white noise?what is the The test-statistic and p-value
