    TASTING THE DIFFERENCE MILK: 1% or 2%?

    Hypotheses: People who assume they can taste the difference between 1% milk and 2% milk will be more likely to actually be able to tell the difference. Methodology: Participants were first asked whether or not they thought they could taste the difference between 1% and 2% milk. After answering they were presented with one cup of 1% and one cup of 2%, and asked to differentiate between the two. Results: Out of all participants, 60% say that they could taste the difference, 40% said they could not. Out of those that said they could, 33% got it right and 67% got it wrong. Out of those that did not think they could taste a difference, 50% got it right and 50% got it wrong. Conclusion: The hypothesis is wrong. There are two ways the data could be interpreted. 1. Due to lack of sufficient data, the numbers are skewed, and it should be 50% on both sides. Therefore there is no significant difference between those who assume they can taste a difference and those who can t. 2. People who assume they can taste a difference are actually less able to, most likely due to an external factor. For example, one could attribute it to arrogance, so they make a quicker decision, using less care in their analysis of the two milks.
