Found the percentage (value divided by total) to help understand how

the subjects guessed each drink.
In both fountain water and Dasani, it was more likely for the participant
to guess the wrong type of water. Only tap water was expected to be
guessed correctly in the sample.

For fountain water and Dasani water, the subjects guessed those
respectively the most; however, the other two options combined were
guessed more than the correct choice.

Aspect 3: Presenting Processed Data

Graph 3.1

As can be seen in this graph, the data is fairly evenly distributed for the
types of water, especially fountain water and Dasani water.
