Provide an appropriate response. In the recent past, a beverage maker invited consumers to blindly test for flavor. They were asked to consumers who will determine which of the two soft drinks (manufacturer's 1-soda brand or competitor's 2-soda brand) preferred. The manufacturer was interested in determining what factors played a role in the taste preferences of persons. One of the factors studied was the gender of the consumer. Let pl be the actual proportion of men who prefer Mark 1 and let p2 be the actual proportion of women who prefer Mark 1. Below is a couplet printed on a computer that compares the taste preferences of the men and women surveyed. Ho: P1 = P2 SAMPLES SELECTED FROM soda (brand1, brand2) ills females (sex = 0, ills) (sex = 1, females) X = ills Y = females PI = 0.422018 sample size of X = 109 P2 = 0.25 sample size of Y = 52 PI-P2 = 0.172018 z = 2.11825 To determine if there is a difference in the taste preferences of men and women, what alternative hypothesis would the maker?
