Part IV Skittles Project 1

This document summarizes data from a Skittles experiment involving different bags of Skittles. Part A shows the number and distribution of different colored Skittles across 3 bags. Part B calculates various probabilities related to the colors and bags. Part C performs a test to see if the proportion of red Skittles in the author's bag and Student A's bag are different, but one of the conditions for the test is not met. Part D repeats the test between the author's bag and a hypothetical bag from Wall Drug Store, calculating the p-value and failing to reject the null hypothesis that the red Skittle proportions are the same between the two bags.

SKITTLES PROJECT PART FOUR

PART A
RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN PURPLE TOTAL
YOUR BAG 8 11 13 17 9 58
STUDENT A 13 12 7 15 11 58
STUDENT B 9 16 14 6 15 60
TOTAL 30 39 34 38 35 176

PART B
The probability that a randomly selected skittle is red or yellow
30/176 + 34/176 = 64/176 = 0.36
The probability that a randomly selected skittle is red or from your bag
30/176 + 58/176 - 8/176 = 80/176 = 0.45
The probability that a randomly selected skittle is red and from your bag
8/176 = 0.045
The probability that a randomly selected skittle is from your bag, given it is red
8/30 = 0.27
The probability that three randomly selected skittles (without replacement) are all red
30/176 * 29/175 * 28/174 = 24,360/ 5,359,376 = 0.0045

PART C
Student A: phat 13/58 = 0.22
Student A n1=58
My Bag phat: 8/58 = 0.14
My bag n2=58
Conditions
1. Random sample-
yes
2. n1< 0.05, n2<0.05
58 < 0.05N = 1,160 and 58 < 0.05N = 1,160
3. n1*p , n1(1-p)
58*0.22 = 13 and 58(1-0.22) = 45
13 >10 and 45>10
n2*p , n2(1-p)
58*0.14 = 8 and 58(1-0.14) = 50
8<10 and 50>10
4. Yes, Independent

Not valid, not all conditions were met. n2*p is less than 10.

We are 95% confident that the interval from –0.0531 and


0.2255 captures the difference of proportions of red skittles
between the place where I purchased my bag and Wall Drug
Store.

PART D
1. n1*p , n1(1-p)
58*0.22 = 13 and 58(1-0.22) = 45
13 >10 and 45>10
n2*p , n2(1-p)
58*0.14 = 8 and 58(1-0.14) = 50
8<10 and 50>10
2. Ho: Pmybag = PStudent A.
Ha: Pmy bag – PStudent A
3.

4. p-value = 0.2279

We fail to reject the null there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a
difference in the proportion of red skittles between the place I bought them and the Wall
Drug store.
