Question 135248: Thank you for all your help with this course. But my problem for this week that I am stuck on is:
Can people really identify their favorite brand of cola? Volunteers tasted Coca-Cola Classic, Pepsi, Diet Coke, and Diet Pepsi, with the results shown below. At alpha = .05, is the correctness of the prediction different for the two types of cola drinkers? Could you identify your favor brand in this kind of test? Since it is a 2 x 2 table, try also a two-tailed two-sample z tet for pi1=p12 and verify z squared is the same as your chi-square statistic. Which test do you prefer? Why?
Corect? Regular Cola Diet Cola Row Total
Yes, got it right 7 7 14
No, got it wrong 12 20 32
Col Total 19 27 46
I saw this problem posted but could not find the answer. Thank you Thank you! You guys are wonderful!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can people really identify their favorite brand of cola? Volunteers tasted Coca-Cola Classic, Pepsi, Diet Coke, and Diet Pepsi, with the results shown below. Research question: At a = .05, is the correctness of the prediction different for the two types of cola drinkers? Since it is a 2 x 2 table, try also a two-tailed two-sample z test for π1 = π2 and verify that zē is the same as your chi-square statistic.
Correct? Regular Diet Row Total
Yes....... 7..... 7..... 14
No....... 12.... 20..... 32
Total.... 19.... 27..... 46
-----------------------------
Ho: mu1=mu2
Ha: mu1 is not equal to mu2
-------------
Chi-Sq:
Test statistic: Chi-Sq = 0.62768...
p-value: 0.4282
df=1
---------
Conclusion: Fail to reject Ho because p-value > alpha.
-------------------------------------
2-Sample z-Test
Test statistic: z=-1.4486
p-value: 0.14746...
Conclusion: Fail to reject Ho because p-value > alpha.
