A candy company claims that 32% of the jelly beans in its spring mix are pink. Suppose that the candies arepackaged at random in small bags containing about 224 elly beans. A class of students opens several bags, counts the various colors of jelly beans, and calculates the proportion that are pink. Is it appropriate to use a Normal model to describe the distribution of the proportion of pink jelly beans? O A. A Nomal model is appropriate because jelly beans in each bag can be thought of as a random sample of jelly beans and are fewer than 10% of the population of all jelly beans. The success/failure condition is also satisfied because np = 71.7 2 10 and nq 152.3 2 10. O B. A Normal model is not appropriate because the sample size, 224, is larger than 10% of the population of all jelly beans. O C. A Nomal model is appropriate because the samples are random and independent. Also, the sample size, 224, is less than 10% of the population. Most importantly, the original population has a Normal distribution. O D. A Nomal model is not appropriate because the sample size is not large enough to satisfy the success/failure condition. O E. A Normal model is not appropriate because the population distribution is not Normal.

To determine whether caffeine consumption affects the ability to solve math problems, a researcher had one group solve math problems after taking a cup of caffeinated drink and another group solve math problems after taking a cup of water. The group who took the caffeinated drink completed 35 problems in one hour and the group that had water completed 20 problems in one hour. Assuming the number of problems solved is normally distributed in each group, what statistical test would be used to test the research hypothesis? Explain your answer.

Historically it has been observed that patients admitted to a certain hospital for treatment of influenza spend a MEAN length of 4.4 days in the hospital. Every flu season, different strains of the flu circulate: Some years the primary strain causes more severe illness (and presumably longer than average hospital stays) and other years less so (meaning presumably shorter than average stays). We assume the hospital stays are NORMALLY distributed. a. A hospital wants to see how this year's flu season compares to previous years. Therefore, state the null and alternate hypotheses that would be used to test whether the hospital is seeing a mean hospital stay that is significantly DIFFERENT than the historical mean of 4.4 days. b. FIFTEEN patients admitted for influenza treatment are then randomly sampled and the length of their hospital stay in days is given below. 4641056443743774 SAMPLE MEAN =?
