Question

Beavis and Butthead, two quality-control technicians at Neverland Sweets Company, are trying to establish if there is a difference in the taste of milk shakes from two of their favorite fast-food restaurants. In order to figure out a solution to this problem, they proceeded to ask 10 of their closest friends to rank the milk shakes, obtaining the data below.

                              McDonald’s                                                 Burger King

  6.2                                                                   5.3

                                    8.1                                                                   4.2      

                                    7.9                                                                   3.5

                                    4.8                                                                   8.9

                                    5.8                                                                   6.9

                                    4.8                                                                   9.2

                                    3.2                                                                   7.2

                                    7.1                                                                   6.3

                                    1.3                                                                   8.5

                                    7.5                                                                   2.5
