- Some brands of soda have a bottle cap with a code redeemable for free music downloads. The soda company claims that 1 in 5 bottles of soda is a winner. However based on their experience redeeming codes, a group of students is skeptical of this claim, and believes that fewer than 1 in 5 caps is a winner. A group of students bought 65 bottles of soda to investigate the company’s claim. The students found a total of 11 bottle caps were winners.
Suppose it is reasonable to assume that the 65 bottles purchased by the students are a random sample of all the bottles of soda.
- Based on this sample is there support for the students’ belief that the proportion of winners is less than 1 in 5? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer.
- If the conclusion you made in part a. is incorrect, what type of error was made?
- Interpret the p-value from part a. in context.

- In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860).
