A Supermarket Chain Has Its Own House Brand of Ice

question 26

Essay

To test the claim, 40 individuals are randomly selected to participate in the following experiment. Each respondent is given the two brands of ice cream to taste (without any identification) and asked to judge which one is better. Suppose that 25 people judge the ice cream parlour brand better, four say that the brands taste the same, and the rest claim that the supermarket brand is better.
Can we conclude at the 1% significance level that the general managers' claim is false?
