Campbell's is considering making an unadvertised change in one of its soups. They select 25 people and , using a double blind taste test, have each one of the 25 people taste both the original version of the soup and the new version. Each person is then asked to rate both versions of the soup.
Using a 95% confidence interval, the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the two versions of the soup is tested. This test is a paired t test, with 24 degrees of freedom. The calculated confidence interval is (2.00, 4.00), with a calculated t value of 3.00. The researcher who reports the results states, "We failed to reject the null hypothesis of no difference in the two versions of the soup because the calculated t statistic (3.00) is contained within the calculated confidence interval."
Critique this researcher's explanation.
