5. A random sample of 500 adults completed a questionnaire on how often they took part in some form of exercise. They gave a response of 'never', 'sometimes' or 'regularly'. Of those asked, \(52 \%\) were females of whom \(10 \%\) never exercised and \(35 \%\) exercised regularly. Of the males, \(12.5 \%\) never exercised and \(55 \%\) sometimes exercised. Test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether or not there is any association between gender and the amount of exercise. State your hypotheses clearly.
