Skittles Project Part #4

1. Suppose you randomly select two skittles from the bag you
purchased.
a. (11/59)(11/59)= .0347601264
b. (11/59)(10/58)= .0321449445
c. 1- probability none 1-(48/59)(48/59)=.3381212295
2. Suppose all the skittles in the class data set are combined into one
large bowl and you are going to randomly select one skittle.
a. (710/3551)= .1999436778
b. (2841/3551)= .8000563222
c. (1442/3551)= .4060827936
d. (698/2109=.3309625415
3. Suppose all of the skittles in the class data set are combined into one
large bowl and you are going to randomly select ten skittles with
replacement and count how many are yellow.
a. Fixed number of trials, Trials are independent (trials are
independent because skittles are selected with replacement) ,
There must be a constant probability of success, each trial has
two disjoint outcomes(Picking the skittles either yellow or
not yellow) n=10 , p= (726/3551)=.2044494509
b. Binompdf(10, .2044, 4)= .093
c. N=10 p=.2044 10x.2044=2.044 =the mean
i. Square root of= 10x.2044x(1-.2044)=1.2752
4. For this problem, treat 2.17-ounce bag of skittles as an individual.
Suppose the values for our class data are the parameter values for
all 2.17-ounce bags of skittles. In other words assume mean number
of candies per bag in our class data set (you computed these values
in part 2).
a. Mean= 59.183, Standard deviation= .5498 the shape is more
normal because the sample size a bigger than 30 (32)
b. Normalcdf(58.5,1e99,59.183,.5498)=.8929
