Order in choice. Does the order in which wine is presented makea
difference? Several choices of wine are presented one at a time andin sequence,
and the subject is then asked to choose the preferred wine at theend of the
sequence. In this study, subjects were asked to taste two winesamples in
sequence. Both samples given to a subject were the same wine,although subjects
were expecting to taste two different samples of a particularvariety. Of the 32
subjects in the study, 22 selected the wine presented first, whenpresented with
two identical wine samples.

(a) Do the data give good reason to conclude that the subjectsare not equally
likely to choose either of the two positions when presented withtwo
identical wine samples in sequence?
(b) The subjects were recruited in Ontario, Canada, viaadvertisements to
participate in a study of “attitudes and values toward wine.†Canwe
generalize our conclusions to all wine tasters? Explain
