  After being blindfolded, each person was given a small taste of either Coke or Pepsi and asked to indicate which brand soft drink it was. If people really can't tell the difference, the expected number of correct identifications in the sample would be:A) 10.
  B) 0.
  C) between 4 and 9.
  D) Can't be determined without more information.
