Pepsi was interested in determining what factors played a role in people's taste preferences. One of the factors studied was the gender of the consumer. Below are the results of analyses comparing the taste preferences of men and women with the proportions depicting preference for Pepsi.
Males: n = 109, pM = 0.422018 Females: n = 52, pF = 0.25
pM - pF = 0.172018 Z = 2.11825
