Project Part 6

Hypothesis Testing: A procedure based on sample results and probability that tests hypotheses about
the population.
1: Ho: P=.2
HI: P.2
2: The sample is a simple random sample doesnt meet the requirement. Did not draw bag of skittles
out of a hat or use a random number generator to pick the bag I bought
Npo(1-po)>10 = 3551(.2)(1-.2)=568.16 meets the requirement
The sampled values are independent of each other n<0.05N meets the requirement

3: Z: .2433
4: P: .8078
5: Do not reject null hypothesis, insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of red candies is
not .2.
6: Type II: Fail to conclude proportion of red candies is not .2 when it really is not .2.
Type I: Conclude proportion of red candies is not .2 when it really is .2
1: Ho: U= 58
HI: U > 58
2: the sample is obtained using simple random sampling or from a randomized experiment doesnt
meet the requirements. Did not draw bag of skittles out of a hat or use a random number generator to
pick the bag I bought
The sample has no outliers and comes from a normal population or the sample size is large n>30. 60>30
so it meets the requirements
The sample values are independent of each other meets the requirements

U= 58

X=59.183
S=3.11
n=60
U: >U
3: t: 2.946
4: P: .002
5: reject null hypothesis, sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean of number of candies in a bag of
Skittles is more than 58.
6: If the mean number of candies in a bag of Skittles is 58, the probability of getting a sample mean of
59.183 or more is .002.
