  1. Carry out a test at the \(5 \%\) significance level to examine whether there is any association between category of runner and the type of running. State carefully your null and alternative hypotheses. Your working should include a table showing the contributions of each cell to the test statistic.
  2. For each category of runner, comment briefly on how the type of running compares with what would be expected if there were no association.
