colors. You come up with what you think is a great idea for a new
color. Your boss is concerned that selling another color will
increase the manufacturing costs, so she wants to be 99% certain

- A statistics teacher wants to see if there is any difference in the performance of students on the final exam if she gives them orange jelly beans before the exam. She has a theory that orange jelly beans will change the results, but she isn't sure in which direction. She knows that the population mean score on the exam when students do not have orange jelly beans is 85 and that exam scores have an approximately symmetric distribution. She gives orange jelly beans to 25 randomly selected students and finds that these students had a sample mean score of 88 with a sample standard deviation of 5. She wants to have 99% confidence in her result.arrow_forwardA statistics teacher wants to see if there is any difference in the performance of students on the final exam if she gives them orange jelly beans before the exam.
