A random sample of 50 consumers taste-tested a new snack food. Their responses were coded (0: do not like; 1: like; 2: indifferent) and recorded as follows:
1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
- a. Use an 80% confidence
interval to estimate the proportion of consumers who like the snack food. (.22, .38) - b. Provide a statistical interpretation for the confidence interval you constructed in part a.
