Question

The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke in 1985. Within three months of this introduction, negative consumer reaction forced Coca-Cola to reintroduce the original formula of Coke as Coca-Cola Classic. Suppose that two years later, in 1987, a marketing research firm in Chicago compared the sales of Coca-Cola Classic, New Coke, and Pepsi in public building vending machines. To do this, the marketing research firm randomly selected 10 public buildings in Chicago having both a Coke machine (selling Coke Classic and New Coke) and a Pepsi machine.

Explanation / Answer


One-way ANOVA: Coke Claasic, New Coke, Pepsi

Source DF     SS    MS     F      P
Factor   2   8122 4061 1.69 0.204
Error   27 64978 2407
Total   29 73100

S = 49.06   R-Sq = 11.11%   R-Sq(adj) = 4.53%

Calulated value of test statistics is 1.69 and P-value is 0.204 and as p-value > 0.05 we will accept the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference in mean value of these three drinks


                                 Individual 95% CIs For Mean Based on
                                 Pooled StDev
Level          N    Mean StDev ---------+---------+---------+---------+
Coke Claasic 10 101.80 59.86              (----------*----------)
New Coke      10   63.40 51.79 (---------*----------)
Pepsi         10   72.00 30.89    (----------*----------)
                                 ---------+---------+---------+---------+
                                         60        90       120       150

Pooled StDev = 49.06


Grouping Information Using Tukey Method

                 N    Mean Grouping
Coke Claasic 10 101.80 A
Pepsi           10   72.00 A
New Coke      10   63.40 A

Means that do not share a letter are significantly different.

New Coke subtracted from:

Turkey simultaneous 95% Confidence Intertval is as follows

Coke Classic - New Coke (-92.85, 16.05)

Coke Classic - Pepsi ( -84.25, 24.65)

New Coke - Pepsi ( -45.85, 63.05)
