    Stats homework, please help! 5. What is the best dessert to serve

5. What is the best dessert to serve at Thanksgiving? One way to decide this is to ask millions of people to make a binary choice: Dessert Option 1 vs. Dessert Option 2 (e.g., apple pie vs. pecan pie). If you randomize what options people must compare, then every dessert will have a "win percentage". This is the percentage of times the dessert beat its (random) opponent when humans were forced to make a binary (!) decision. Luckily, the data journalism website 538 did this very thing! According to their data, pumpkin pie reigns supreme, winning 81% of head-to-heads with other desserts. You notice that poll was from 2016 and are curious if things are different now. So, you conduct a new round of head-to-heads and find that in 723 of these, people preferred pumpkin pie. Sadly, you forgot to write down the total number of head-to-heads, n. You do know that your hypothesis test came back statistically significant at the a = 0.08 level. What are all the possible values n could have been? Don't use R, trial-and-error, or a computer algebra system to help solve this. [PH of PHANTOM]
