SKITTLES PROJECT PART TWO

PART A

P= 80/461 = .174 COLOR FREQUENCY

1) Yes, a random sample bags are machine Red 80

made and randomly chosen.
Orange 95
2) n < 0.05N Yellow 85
461 < 0.05N = 9,220
Yes, independent there are more than Green 112 9,220
skittles in the world.
Purple 89
3) n(p) > 10 TOTAL 461
(461)(0.174) = 80 > 10

n(1-p) > 10
(461)(1-0.174) = 300 > 10

Sample is large enough to assume it’s approximately normal

PART B

We are 95% confident that

the interval between 0.139 and 0.2081
contains the true proportion of all red
skittles.

PART C
Proportion of red skittles in my bag: 8/58 = 0.14
Yes, this is a likely value because it falls inbetween the interval range of 0.139 and 0.208
PART D

n=461
p= 0.2

1) Yes, a random sample as stated before machine packed and randomly chosen
bag.
2) n < 0.05N
Yes independent.
3) n(p) > 10
461(0.2) = 92

n(1-p) > 10
461( 1-0.2) = 369

Sample is large enough 92 > 10 and 369 > 10. So we can assume it’s approximately
normal.

PART E

H0: p = o.2
Ha: p ~ 0.2 (not equal to o.2)

Z= - 1.42
P= 0.1555

P>a
0.1555 > 0.05

We fail to reject the null.

There is insufficient evidence to conclude the true proportion of skittles

PART F
My hypothesis test results for both
parts were the same.
I failed to reject both parts. One is
not more accurate than the other.
But the p-value in part B was
smaller.
