Suppose that we randomly choose 100 Skittles before they are packaged and pick 27 red candies, 19 orange candies, 26 yellow candies, 17 green candies, and 11 purple candies. For the purposes of this exercise, assume that the 100 Skittles chosen are representative of all Skittles produced. Does this sample data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of Skittles that are red is more than 0.2? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a .05 significance level, round your test statistic to the appropriate number of decimal places to use the correct chart, and round everything else to 4 decimal places. Follow the seven step process we learned in Algorithm 10.9.

Suppose an instructor would like to know if there is difference in the performance of her two courses of 560 students each. She proceeds to take a random sample of size 50 from each independent class and was able to establish the following results: mean SD Class 1 86 17 Class 2 78 15 Is there a significant difference between the two classes at a significance level of five percent?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,476 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 153 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,767 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 2478 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

During the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453), the English and French fought each other. At the Battle of Cr ́ecy, a random sample of 73 knights contained 41 English knights. At the Battle of Agincourt, a random sample of 142 knights contained 56 English knights. Use these sample and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of knights fighting at each battle who were English were equal.
A nutritionist in the FDA wants to compare the caloric content of medium French fries sold by Wendonald (Population 1) and McKing (Population 2) fast-food chains, to see if there is any difference between them. To test this, random samples from each chain is taken and the caloric contents of French fries are measured. The finding is summarized in the table on next page. Conduct an independent-samples t test to test whether there is any difference between the caloric content of French fries sold by the two chains, following the steps below. Wendonald McKing = 32 = 30 = 390 calories = 365 calories = 30 calories = 38 calories Write down the null and alternative hypotheses using proper notation Calculate (Write all steps) What is the value of for α = 0.05 with a two-tailed test?
2a. (Data calories.txt) For this problem, focus on the random sample obtained using only treatment 1. What is the average number of calories consumed for children in this group? Use 2 decimals Hint: Don't forget to only use the subset of children that participated in meal prep aration. 2b. (Data calories.txt only using treatment 1 sample) Based on these data, obtain the standard error for the average of calories consumed by children participating in meal preparation. Enter the value using two decimals. Hint 2: The R command length() may be useful to find the appropriate sample size. 2c. (Data calories.txt only using treatment 1 sample) A researcher would like to show that children participating in meal preparation (treatment 1) consume more than 400 calories, on average. Use the results obtained in the previous two questions and obtained the test statistic. Enter it here using two decimals. 2d.

Use the data and table below to test the indicated claim about the means of two paired populations (matched pairs). Assume that the two samples are each simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Make sure you identify all values. The table below shows the blood glucose of 20 students before breakfast and two hours after breakfast, using a specific insulin dosing formula to cover carbohydrates. Is there compelling statistical evidence that the specific insulin dosing formula is effective in reducing blood glucose levels? Use a significance level of 0.05. We have the differences (gain or loss), but we still need to compute the mean, standard deviation, and know the sample size for the differences (use Excel or Sheets for this computation). Once those are found, we can apply methods that are used for a 1 sample t-test. Student Before Meal After Meal Difference 1 161 114 -47 2 196 88 -108 3 132 80 -52 4 175 96 -79 5 169 112 -57 6 138 137…
