Guven, Elaimis, Binokay, and Tan (2003) studied the distribution of paw preferences in rats using a computerized food-reaching task. For a sample of n = 144 rats they found 104 right-handed animals (and thus 40 left-handed animals). Is this significantly different from what would be expected if right- and left-handed rats are equally common in the population? Test with an alpha level of 0.01.
