A movie studio invited a representative audience to a preliminary screening of a movie. At the end of the movie the members of the audience were asked to answer a survey comparing the ending of the movie with two alternative endings.

Suppose that a member of the audience provided the following answers.Is A at least as good as B? NOIs A at least as good as C? YESIs B at least as good as A? YESIs B at least as good as C? YESIs C at least as good as A? YESIs C at least as good as B? NO

At the end of the movie the members of the audience were asked to answer a survey comparing the ending of the movie with two alternative endings. For simplicity let us denote the ending the audience saw by A, and the two alternative endings by B and C. Suppose that the audience provided the following feedback.A total of 14 responses were:Is A at least as good as B? NOIs A at least as good as C? YESIs B at least as good as A? YESIs B at least as good as C? YESIs C at least as good as A? YESIs C at least as good as B? NOA total of 7 responses were:Is A at least as good as B? YESIs A at least as good as C? YESIs B at least as good as A? NOIs B at least as good as C? YESIs C at least as good as A? NOIs C at least as good as B? NOA total of 79 responses were:Is A at least as good as B? YESIs A at least as good as C? YESIs B at least as good as A? NOIs B at least as good as C? NOIs C at least as good as A? NOIs C at least as good as B?
