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.

A recent survey by the Indiana State University Department of Athletics aims to evaluate the popularity of its mascot, Sycamore Sam within its community. The department interviews 250 randomly selected individuals in the community of 13000, and finds that 175 are fond of the "woodland creature" mascot. Based on the information given, can we assume the sample distribution of sample proportions will follow a Normal model? Answer by listing, and evaluating, the 4 conditions necessary using complete sentences.
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?
Suppose that in a random selection of 100100 colored candies, 2323% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 2525%. Use a 0.100.10 significance level to test that claim.
Twenty different statistic students are randomly selected. For each of them,their body temperature (° F) is measured and their head circumference (in) ismeasured. Without doing any research or calculations, estimate the value of r. Forthis sample of paired data, what does r represent?
In a survey, 37% of the respondents stated that they talk to their pets on the telephone. A veterinarian believed this result to be too high, so he randomly selected 200 pet owners and discovered that 73 of them spoke to their pet on the telephone. Does the veterinarian have a right to be skeptical? Use the a = 0.1 level of significance. Because npo (1- Po) 10, the sample size is 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 35 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 35 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 4 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 39.l minutes with a standard deviation of 2.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.10 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?
