Stats 6

The document discusses two hypothesis tests performed on samples of Skittles candies: 1) A test of the claim that 20% of Skittles are red, which failed to reject the claim since the p-value was greater than 0.05. 2) A test of the claim that the mean number of candies per bag is greater than 55, which resulted in rejection of the null hypothesis and support for the claim, with a p-value of 0. It also outlines the requirements for hypothesis tests on proportions and means, noting the samples did not meet the simple random sampling requirement.

Team Project 6: Hypothesis Tests

We test whether the sample stat supports or proves the claim wrong
about the parameter.

Test the claim that 20% of all skittles are red.
H0: p=.2 (claim)
H1: p .2

x: 309
n: 1670
p hat: .1850
p: .20
q: .80

.1850-.20/ (.20)(.80)/1670= -1.532

The p value = .1262 We will fail to reject the claim because
.1262<.05.

.1262< .05 There is insufficient evidence to reject the claim that 20%
of all the skittles are red.

Test the claim that the mean number of candies in the bag of skittles
is more than 55.

H0: m=55
H1: m= > 55 (claim)

a= .01
s:= 1.75
m: 55
x bar: 59.6
n: 28


59.6-55/1.7528=13.91

Calculator: p value: stat>test>t test =0
0< .01 reject h0
0< .01 There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean
number of candies in the bag of skittles is more than 55.

The requirements for testing a claim about P is that it must be a
simple random sample, the conditions for binomial distribution are
satisfied which means there are a fixed number of trials, 2 outcomes,
independent, and the probability of success stays the same in all
trials. The conditions np > and nq > 5 are both satisfied.
1670(.20)=334>5, 1670(.80)=1336>5

Our sample didnt mean the requirements because it was not simple
random sample. The condition for np>5 and nq>5 and the binomial
distribution was satisfied.

The requirements for testing a claim for the mean is that it must be
simple random sample, and either or both of these conditions are
satisfied. The population is normally distributed or n>30.

Our samples did not meet these requirements because we did not
have a simple random sample and the population is not normally
distributed because we had less than 30 samples and the graph does
not look normally distributed.
