Question:

Group-housed laying hens appear to prefer having more floor space than height in their cages. Albentosa and Cooper (2005) tested hens in groups of 10. The birds in each group were given free choice between a cage with a height of 38 cm (low) and a cage with a height of 45 cm (high). The results showed a tendency for the hens in each group to distribute themselves evenly between the two cages, showing no preference for either height. Suppose that a similar study tested a sample of n = 80 hens and found that 47 preferred the taller cage. Does this result indicate a significant preference? Use a two tailed test with α = .05.
