A certain soft drink bottler claims that less than 20% of its customers drink another brand of soft drink
on a regular basis. A random sample of 100 customers yielded 18 who did in fact drink another brand of
soft drink on a regular basis. Do these sample results support the bottler’s claim? (Use a level of
significance of 0.05.)
1. Enter the category values (Brand of Drink: 1=other brand, 2=same brand) into one variable and
the observed counts (other brand=18, same brand=82) into another variable (see left figure,
below). Then weight the category values variable by the observed counts variable (see two right
figures, below).
3. Select “Brand of Drink” as the test variable and enter the values for the null hypothesis
proportions in numerical order by category value [i.e., P(other brand) = 0.20, then P(same brand)
= 0.80] (see right figure, below).
4. Your output should look like this.
5. You should use the output information in the following manner to answer the question.
