Question

Using the binomial test, please answer this question.

In a blind taste test, do people prefer pate or
dog food? To investigate, Bohannon et al.
(2010) presented 18 college-educated adults
with unlabeled samples of dog food (Newman's
Own Organics Canned Turkey & Chicken) and
four meat products meant for humans (duck
liver mousse, pork liver pate, liverwurst, and
Spam). Participants were asked to rank their
preferences. Two of 18 participants ranked the
dog food first, whereas the other 16 participants
chose one of the other items. Based on these
results, can we conclude that people are less

likely to prefer dog food over all human food
than would be expected by chance?
