A man is tested to determine whether he can tell butter from margarine. He is blindfolded and given small bites of English muffin to identify. At each trial, an English muffin is randomly chosen. The experiment is designed so that he will have exactly 15 bites with butter and 15 bites with margarine. He gets 14 right out of 30. Can he tell butter from margarine at the 0.05 significance level? Use the methods taught and the language used in this class to explain your answer. (Round decimal numbers to three places as needed.)
