You work for a company that manufactures suitcases in various 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 that at least 15% of all the suitcases sold will be this new color before agreeing to implement it permanently. Your company sells your suitcases on multiple online sites and so you decide to market the new color on one site only for one month as a test to see what proportion of the suitcases sold are the new color. When you report the results of the test to your boss you make a Type I error.

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.
