We now measure the amount of correlation (W) among the judges: W = 1.0 => perfect correlation, W = 0 => no correlation
We also provide a probability measure that this correlation is due to chance In this case the correlation is = 0.2014 Probability that correlation is due to chance = 0.0494 We compute the correlation of each taster with the average ranking of the oth- ers and with prices. 1.0 => perfect, 0 => none, -1.0 => total disagreement

Comments:
Everybody descried the Columbia Crest (F) as very sweet. The Sarget de Gruad-Larose was decribed as approachable and having a licorice finish (Don).... We also took guesses which of the 8 wines were from France or Washington State, respectively. (We had 4 from each region). Most people guessed wrong 4 times. Only Kyoko was wrong only twice. The wine that was mistaken most was the Chateau La Vieille Cure. Seven of us thought this wine were a WA state wine. Similarly, six judges thought wine D (Sarget de Gruaud-Larose) were a WA state wine. On the other hand, seven judges correctly identified wine B (Cahors) as a French wine.Interestingly, six people thought that the winner wine (Woodward Canyon from WA state) were from France and even eight people thought that of the second winner (Gloria).
