Two sets of expanded tables have been compiled for use in determining significance in paireddifference and triangle tests (one-tailed) and in paired-preference tests (two-tailed). One set of tables lists the number of correct responses (or agreeing judgments) for trials ranging from 7-100, at p < 0.05, 0.04, 0.03, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005 and 0.001. These tables are convenient for a quick estimate of significance of laboratory sensory data as well as consumer responses. The second set of tables gives the probabilities of obtaining a given number of correct (or agreeing) judgments in trials ranging from 5-50. These probability tables provide a more precise estimate of significance, which may be needed in more critical research or in making decisions of considerable importance. Some examples are given, with guidelines for the proper use of these tables and the interpretation of significance based upon them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
