question
Concerned with the increase of plastic water bottles in landfills, a leading environmentalist wants to determine whether there is any difference in taste between the local tap water and the leading bottled water. She randomly selects 14 consumers and conducts a blind taste test. She asks the consumers to rank the taste on a scale of 1 to 5 (where a score of 5 indicates excellent taste). A portion of the sample results are shown in the accompanying table. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Consumer } & \text { Tap Water } & \text { Bottled Water } \\ \hline 1 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline 2 & 3 & 2 \\ \hline \vdots & \vdots & \vdots \\ \hline 14 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ b.
