Many people who quit smoking gain weight. Many explain that after they quit smoking food tastes better. To examine the relationship between smoking and taste, a researcher randomly sampled 280 smokers. Each was asked how many cigarettes they smoked on an average day. In addition, each person was asked to taste and rate some vanilla ice cream. The responses are 5 = Excellent, 4 = Very good, 3 = Good, 2 = Fair, and 1 = Poor. Can the researcher infer that the more a person smokes the less taste sensation he or she has?
