Question

Match each question with its answer.

Suppose that I want to know which type of cola American adults like better, Fizzy
Fizz Cola or Snappy Syrup Cola. Fizzy Fizz is a little more bubbly, Snappy Syrup is a
little more sweet. So I set up a table in the student union on the university campus
where I work in New Jersey. I set up 100 little sample cups and fill 50 of them with
Fizzy Fizz and 50 of them with Snappy Syrup. I give a sample of each soda to the first
50 people 18 years or older that stop at my table and ask them to rate how much
they liked each cola on a scale from 1 to 5, with higher numbers indicating greater
enjoyment of the cola. They do not know which cup contains which type of cola. I
find that people gave Fizzy Fizz an average rating of 3.00 and gave Snappy Syrup an
average rating of 4.00.
