A soft drink company is conducting research to select a new design for their can. A sample of 9 participants has been selected. Instead of a typical taste test with two different sodas, they give each participant the same soda twice. One drink is served in a predominantly red can, the other in a predominantly blue can. The order the two cans are used is chosen randomly. Participants are asked to rate each drink on a scale of 1 to 10. The mean difference between the rating of the red and blue can for the 9 participants is -0.56 with standard deviation 2.19. Researchers would like to determine whether or not the mean difference in ratings between the red and blue can is 0. The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.4676. Select the correct decision below.
a. Reject the null hypothesis.
b. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
c. Reject the alternative hypothesis.
d. Accept the null hypothesis.
