Yesterday, most of the RMC conference members participated i n the Analyses have wiener t a s t e test conducted j u s t before the noon lunch.

Before showing you some of the analyt ical resu l t s , I would l i ke t o mention a few reasons f o r performing t h i s exercise.

Secondly, it was considered tha t it may be of i n t e re s t t o demonstrate the powers of time-share computers and terminals.

However, f o r the t a s t e t e s t , random code numbers were assigned t o the samples and placement on the t r ay a l so was randomly assigned. The design of the test w a s balanced so that half of the participants tas ted pork first and half tas ted beef f i r s t . The meat formulation of the pork wieners w a s predominantly pork trim w i t h some beef trim, while the meat formulation of t he beef wieners w a s lo@ beef tr im. The wiener made from a combination of pork and beef will be referred t o as pork wiener throughout t h i s presentation.

The computer system i s also capable of producing data i n histogram form. The upper half of f igure 4 i l l u s t r a t e s the number of people who f e l l into different age groups. The histogram on the lower portion of the flgure 4 deals with the number of paxticipants from di f fe ren t geographical locations.
The computer w a s requested t o display frequency tables on male/ female and smoker/non-smoker r a t io s . The r e su l t s a r e shown in tab le 3 .
The information which I have described thus f a r has deal t with the personal prof i les of the participants i n yesterday's t a s t e t e s t . The next 2 figures show how the participants rated pork wieners and beef wieners. This information i s given i n the form of simple s t a t i s t i c s and histograms. Figure 5 i l l u s t r a t e s the dis t r ibut ion of ratings given exclusively t o pork wieners. The dis t r ibut ion of ra t ings given t o beef wieners i s contained i n f igure 6.
The information provided i n t ab le 4 summarizes the data acquired i n the t a s t e t e s t broken down according t o employment, education, age, sex, smokers and geographical location. The resu l t s shown i n t h i s table make it possible t o rapidly scan the data and provide a basis f o r deciding i f fur ther s t a t i s t i c a l analyses a re desirable or necessary. it is impossible t o Judge from the information provided i n t h i s table whether or not a s ignif icant difference ex is t s between the overal l mean of the ra t ing given t o pork wieners versus the overal l ra t ing given t o beef wieners.
For example,
The computer w a s asked t o provide a t - s t a t i s t i c which can be used t o determine i f the overal l mean of the ratings given t o pork wieners and the overal l mean of the ratings given t o beef wieners are s i g n i f i - cantly different .

396 tab le 5 . A s ign i f icant ly (P < 0.05) higher ra t ing was given t o the pork wieners when compared t o beef wieners . The t - s t a t i s t i c can be used t o determine more subt le e f fec ts on ratings. For example, the comparison of preference t o pork wieners between males and females ( tab le 6 ) , and the difference i n preference t o pork wieners between smokers and non-smokers (table 7). The r e su l t s indicate there was no s igni f icant difference i n preference t o pork wieners between males and females or between smokers and non-smokers.
The relat ionship of the rat ings given t o pork wieners as influenced by age of par t ic ipants m i g h t be useful ly subjected t o fur ther evaluation. Therefore, the computer was instructed t o produce a ser ies of equations t o describe the relat ionship between these two variables. This infor- mation is s h m i n t ab le 8. The curve with the la rges t index i s the b e s t - f i t . Curve 5 , y=l/(a+B%) re su l t s i n an index of determination of 0.005C8. indicate l i t t l e o r no relat ionship between the rat ings given t o pork wieners and age of the judge.

Another capabi l i ty of the computer and terminal system is t o produce multiple regression and multiple correlat ion coeff ic ients as shown i n t ab le 9. The r e su l t s indicate tha t there i s l i t t l e o r no relat ionship of the ra t ing given t o pork wieners t o age and education of the pane l i s t .
A simple but in te res t ing system capabi l i ty is the production of x-y p lo t s . beef wieners on the basis of age c lass i f ica t ion .
