1. If we had to guess at the proportions of the colors in the class sample, it would
make the most sense that each color makes up roughly 0.20, or 1/5, of the
candies. In reality, the proportions are close to 0.20, but there is some variance
between the values:

2. Below are two graphs displaying the frequency of each Skittles candy color in
our class sample. First, a Pareto chart indicating the color frequencies from the
sample in descending order:

1093

Next, a pie chart showing each colors frequency in relation to the whole
sample.

The critical value for a 99% confidence interval is found by first determining
2
= 1 .99 = .01
= .005
2
Then, using Table V, we find that the critical value for 0.005 = 2.575.
The lower bound is
= 1 .95 = .05
= .025
2
Using the t-Distribution Table, we find that the critical value for 90 degrees
of freedom (the value closest to our value of 93) is 0.025 = 1.987. Using the
inverse t function on the calculator and the correct value of 93 degrees of
freedom, we obtained 0.025 = 1.986. (We will use the 1.986 for these
calculations.)
The lower bound is
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean of
candies per bag is 60.1 1.147.
To find the critical values for the Chi-Square distribution, we first determined
for a 98%
2
confidence interval:
= 1 .98 = .02
= .01
2
Using the Chi-Square Distribution Table, we find that the critical values for
90 degrees of freedom (the value closest to our value of 93) for an area of .
99 and an area of .01 are
2 = 61.754
and
2 = 124.116.
