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.
