Answer:

She fails the test because the test conducted on her shows she has the XY chromosome which is a sign of maleness. And also the technician recognize the fact that there is no Barr bodies in her cell.

This made the technician infer that she is a male genetically because only male do not have Barr bodies and XY chromosome.
