A manufacturer of colored candies states that 13% of the candies in a bag should be brown, 14% yellow, 13% red, 24% blue, 20% orange, and 16% green. A student randomly selected a bag of colored candies. He counted the number of candies of each color and obtained the results shown in the table. Test whether the bag of colored candies follows the distribution stated above at a-0.05 level of significance. Using the level of significance alpha equalsa-0.05, test whether the color distribution is the same. Color Brown Yellow Red Blue Orange Green Frequency 61 67 55 59 80 67 Proportion 13% 14% 13% 24% 20% 16% Expected Use any method but follow the PHANTOMS acronym P-Parameter Statement H-Hypotheses A-Assumptions & Conditions N- Name the Test T-Test Statistic O- Obtain the P-Value or Critical Value M-Make a Decision about the Null Hypothesis S-State Your Conclusion About the Claim
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
