5.74 What's for Breakfast? A packaging experiment is conducted by placing two different package designs for a breakfast food side by side on a supermarket shelf. The objective of the experiment is to see whether buyers indicate a preference for one of the two package designs. On a given day, 25 customers purchased a package from the supermarket. Let x equal the number of buyers who choose the second package design.
a. If there is no preference for either of the two designs, what is the value of p, the probability that a buyer chooses the second package design?
b. If there is no preference, use the results of part a to calculate the mean and standard deviation of x.
c. If 5 of the 25 customers choose the first package design and 20 choose the second design, what do you conclude about the customers' preference for the second package design?
