Discriminant test results: Workbook = demo-triangle.xls / Sheet = Sensory design / Range = 'Sensory design'!$F$19:$F$3
Test type: Triangle test
Method: Thurstonian model
Distribution: Binomial
Significance level (%): 5

Summary of selected options:

Test Triangle test

Number of 20
Prop. of co 0.750
Guessing pr 0.333

Sensory discrimination test:

95 % confidence interval for the proportion of discriminators:

] 0.504; 0.746 [

Prop. of di 0.625
p-value 0.001
alpha 0.050
Power 0.986

Test interpretation:
H0: D-prime is equal to 0.
Ha: D-prime is greater then 0.
As the computed p-value is lower than the significance level alpha=0,05, one should reject the null
hypothesis H0, and accept the alternative hypothesis Ha.
The risk to reject the null hypothesis H0 while it is true is lower than 0,09%.

Estimated parameter (Thurstonian model):
