- The result has 8/11 correct answers and 3/11 incorrect answers
- Analyze results using the statistical table of minimum n number of correct
judments for triangle test at probability level a=5%
- We have: X0.05 = 7
- Number of correct responses in Set 1 < value in the table (3<7).
So the difficult to identify the difference between sugar water (6 g/l) and 12 g/l
when two samples (12 g/l) are identical.
- Number of correct responses in Set 2 > value in the table (8>7).
So the easy to identify the difference between sugar water (8 g/l) and 10 g/l
when two samples (8 g/l) are identical.
2.3. Duo-trio test
Receive 2 sets, each containing 3 samples. In each set, the first sample from the
left is the reference sample. One of the 2 remaining samples is similar to the
reference sample. Taste the R, then the 2 oders, and indicate which sample is
similar to R.
2.3.1. Sample preparation
- Prepare 11 parts of samples, each sample is about 100ml in a glass cup

So the difficult to identify the sample similar between sugar water (7 g/l) and 9

2.1. Paired comparison test
Receive 2 sample of beer coded. Taste them from left to right and indicate the
sample that has a stronger taste
2.1.1. Sample preparation
- Prepare 11 sets of samples, each about 100ml in a glass cup
- All samples must be coded:
+ Beer A: A
+ Beer B: B
- The number of occurrences of the 3 samples is the same, 25 times.
- 25 glasses of clear water, each 200ml

- The results after the experiment were 18 points for product B, 15 points for
product A
- From here, we can conclude that the preferences of the samples are different
according to the Fredman Test.

(*) χ = ∑
np( p+1) k=0
Ti2 – 3n(p+1)
In which:
+) n is the number of testers,
+) p is the number of products,
+) Ti is the sum according to the sample rank (i= 0,1,2,…,p)
- From the experimental results obtained and the equation (*)
12 2 2
we get: χ2 = 11 x 2 ( 2+1 ) x (18 + 15 ) – 3x11(2+1) = 0.82
- Look up the table with the degree of freedom df = 1; α = 0.05
- We find a critical value of 3.841
- We have: χ2 < critical value (0.82 < 3.841) showing that there is no difference
between the products.
=> The two beer samples have no difference in taste strength
2.2. Triangle test
Receive 3 samples of soft drinks. 2 out of 3 samples are the sample while the
third is different. Taste samples in oder of them placed on trsy from left to right
and indicate the odd sample
2.2.1 Sample preparation
- Prepare 11 sets of samples, each sample is about 100ml in a glass cup
- Each set includes 2 types of samples: Coca-cola mixed with sugar and Pure
Coca-cola
- All samples must be coded:
+) Coca-cola mixed with sugar: 543
+) Pure Coca-cola: 111, 602

- Analyze results using the statistical table of minimum n number of correct

- We have: X0.05 = 7
=> Number of correct responses < value in the table (3<7).
So the difference is not statistically significant between the 2 coca-cola samples
at the significance level α = 0.05.
=> There is no difference between pure coca-cola and coca-cola mixed with
sugar
2.3. Dou-trio test
Receive reference sample R and 2 codeds samples. One sample is similar to R
and the other is different. Taste the R, then the 2 oders, and indicate which
