This is not literally a random sample, but whether or not this sample is representative of the population could depend on the variable of interest. For each of the following variables, discuss whether you think the sample would be representative of the population. Briefly explain your answers. a. Sex b. Time spent sleeping last night c.

- Read the scenario and use your knowledge of descriptive statistics to answer the prompt. You are the marketing manager at The Best Candy Shop where the top sales item is the Dream Pop bags of flavored candies. You have been getting complaints from customers that there are not enough lemon or blueberry flavored candies, which are favorites, and too many grape and strawberry flavored candies. Your boss wants you to create an advertisement indicating, “all bags have equally likely flavors.” (That is, the probability of getting a strawberry flavored candy piece is the same as getting a blueberry flavored candy piece, etc.). As the marketing manager, you want to make sure you are advertising truthful information, so you pull a sample bag of Dream Pop candy and find the following pieces: • 16 grape flavors • 12 strawberry flavors • 6 lemon flavors • 6 blueberry flavors • Explain how you could communicate to your boss that his advertising suggestion (all bags have equally likely…arrow_forwardIn 1945, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?"

- 9.) A recent survey of 2,000 Taylor Swift fans reported that the average fan paid $300 for concert ticket. Is this an example of inferential or descriptive statistics?arrow_forwardUse the following scenario to answer the next 6 questions: 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 < .10arrow_forwardUse the following scenario to answer the next 6 questions: M&Ms are your favorite vending machine snack and you purchase them often.
