Proportion Yellow Candies: Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the

population proportion of yellow candies.

x = 1428 (Yellow Candies)

n = 6871 (Total Candies)

𝑝̂ = 1428/6871 = .208

z *-value of 99% = 2.575

In the calculator: STAT – TESTS – 1-PROP Z INT – Enter Data

Margin of Error = (.22044 - .9522) = .01261

We are 99% confident that the proportion of yellow candies is between .195 < 𝑝 <
.220 (20% and 22%) with a Margin of Error ± 0.1261

Mean Number of Candies: Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the
population mean number of candies per bag.

n = 118 (Bags of Candies)

𝑥̅ = 58.23

Sx = 3.03 (Standard deviation)

z *-value of 95% = 1.96

In the calculator: STAT – TESTS – T-INTERVAL – STATS – Enter Data

We are 95% confident that the mean number of candies per bag is between
(57.678, 58.782)
