Question
Researchers want to determine whether all bags of M&M's® have the same proportion of colors regardless of the flavor of M&M's®. To test this, they sampled randomly king-size bags of each flavor and recorded their findings in the table.
Part A: What are the correct degrees of freedom for this table?
Part B: Calculate the expected count for the number of green peanut M&M's®. Show your work.
Part C: Is there sufficient evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of colors for the different flavors of M&M's®? Provide a statistical justification for your conclusion.

- A bag of candy contains 5 different types of colored candies; red, green, blue, yellow, and orange. According to the manufacturer, bags should contain an equal number of each color. Students in a statistics class decided to use a chi-square procedure to test the manufacturer’s claim. They opened a bag of candy and recorded the number of candies of each color. The results are shown in the following table. Red Green Blue Yellow Orange 17 24 20 25 14 Which color contributes most to the chi-square test statistic?

- A biologist is studying the composition of birds on a lake and counts 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons. From previous studies performed around the same time of the year, she expects 50% of the birds to be ducks, 23% to be geese, 12% to be cranes, 10% to be swans, and 5% to be herons. What are the expected and observed counts? Select one. Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D %3D Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 heronsarrow_forwardLast school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 35% freshmen, 24% sophomores, 26% juniors, and 15% seniors.

- A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. %arrow_forwardAnxiety when taking math tests is a common problem. If I want to study this issue, which of the following describes the best way to find out the proportion of students who suffer from math anxiety?

Then she used library records to take a random sample of 888 books checked out last term and classified the books in the sample by subject. The results are shown below. Subject Area Business Humanities. Natural Science Social Science All other subjects USE SALT Percent of Books on Subject in Circulation Library on This Subject 32% 25% 20% 15% 8% Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the subject distribution of books in the library fits the distribution of books checked out by students. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: The distributions are different. H₁: The distributions are different. H: The distributions are different.
