America's favorite alcoholic beverage. Are beer, wine, and liquor equally favored by Americans as the alcoholic drink they consume most often? A 2016 Gallup survey interview a random sample of American adults about their alcohol consumption and preferences. Of the 647 non-abstainers who answered the question about which beverage-beer, wine, liquor-they consume most often, 293 selected beer, 218 selected wine, and the remaining 136 selected liquor. Follow the four-step process as illustrated in Example 21.7.

The sample data are not consistent with a null hypothesis of equal proportions.
