The appropriate test to analyze the relationship between gender and speeding is contingency table analysis. This test compares the frequencies of two categorical variables to determine if there is a statistically significant association between them. In this case, the two variables are gender and exceeding the speed limit (yes or no), which are both categorical variables. Therefore, a contingency table analysis would be the appropriate test to determine if there is a relationship between gender and speeding behavior.
