M&Ms are your favorite vending machine snack and you purchase them often.  Lately, it seems like the bags have been having a disproportionate distribution of the colors.  The company claims that 24% of the candies per bag should be blue.  You decide to test this claim for yourself.  You purchase a large bag and find that 38 of the 224 candies are blue.  Before complaining to the company, you want to be fairly sure of your accusation, so you set a 1% significance level for your test.  Do you have sufficient evidence that the color distribution is different than advertised? The p-value for this test is: Group of answer choices p < .01 .01 < p < .05 p < .001 .05 < p < .10
