You are interested in testing whether cats with striped fur are more likely to get feline influenza virus than cats that have a solid fur colour. You collect data from veterinary clinics in Ottawa to sample 97 cats that were brought in to visit a veterinarian in 2019. You determine whether each cat had striped or solid fur, and whether it tested positive for feline influenza virus. You run the appropriate statistical analysis on the data to test whether there is an association between these two variables, using the conventional alpha threshold of 0.05. You obtain a p-value of 0.01.

What are we able to conclude based on the information provided?
