Many people believe that they can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. Other people say that the two brands can't be distinguished. To test this, a random sample of 20 adults was selected to participate in a test.
 
  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.

Question 2

A large orchard owner in the state of Washington is interested in determining whether the mean number of bushels of peaches per acre is the same or different depending on the type of tree that is used.

  B) 3
  C) 15
