Question 145173
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 α = .05, is 
the correctness of the prediction different for the two types of cola drinkers? Could you identify 
your favorite brand in this kind of test? Since it is a 2 × 2 table, try also a two-tailed two-sample z test for π1 = π2 (see Chapter 10) and verify that z2 is the same as your chi-square statistic.Which test do you prefer? Why? (Data are from Consumer Reports 56, no. 8 [August 1991], p. 519.)

Correct? 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 

--------------------------------
Ho: Results are the same for Coke and Pepsi drinkers
Ha: Results are different.
------------
I ran a Chi-Sq. Test on the 2 x 2 data and got the following results:
test statistic: Chi-Sq = 0.62768..
p-value: 0.4282...
Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than 5%, Fail to reject Ho.
===================
Ho: p(coke yes)-p(pepsi yes) = 0
Ha: p(coke yes)-p(pepsi yes) is not zero
-------------------- 
I ran a two proportion zTest and got the following results:
test statistic: z = 0.792268...
p-value = 0.428207...
Conclusion: Fail to reject Ho.
--------------
z^2 = Chi-Sq test statistic ?
0.792268^2 = 0.627688
