Introduction:
The first thing we had to do was count the amount of skittles we had an how many of
each color there was. So we had to find the proportion of each color. We then used
these stats to complete different problems within statistics. We started with charts. We
made a Pie Chart for the numbers of candies of each color. We then found the mean,
standard deviation, and 5 number summary. The last section we calculated different
confidence intervals.

Data (Colors):

Red Orange Yellow Green Purple

10 11 13 13 10

I was expecting something very similar to this. I thought that there would be a fairly even
amount of every color. Which there is. It’s like a coin. Half the time it should land on
heads, the other half should land on tails. Same for the skittles. There should be an
even amount of every color.
Data (Number per bag):
5 Number Summary-
Min: 54
Q1: 57
Med: 59
Q3: 60
Max: 63

This is around what I expected. The graph is mostly normal. Slightly skewed left.
Reflection:
Categorical data is data based off of qualities of the item. Examples are color, build,
shape, etc. Quantitative data is based off of quantity. So the amount of an item.
Categorical data uses a lot of pie graphs and bar graphs a lot because those can show
different categories. Quantitative data uses histograms more. These show how much of
something there is.

Confidence Interval Estimates:

Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of yellow candies.
STAT, TEST, TInterval, STATS, x=11.4 Sx=2.18 n=13 C-Level=.99
(9.55, 13.25)

Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true mean number of candies per
bag.
STAT, TEST, TInterval, DATA, (57.8, 59.49)

Hypothesis Test:

These test are made to reject/not reject the null hypothesis.

0.05 significance level to test the claim that 20% of all skittles candies are red.
STAT, TEST, 1-PropZTest: p= .39 .05<.39
Not sufficient evidence to reject the null.

.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean number of candies in a bag of
Skittles is 55.
STAT, TEST, T-Test, p=1.89 .05<1.89
There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null.

Reflection:
My samples met the conditions. I could’ve miscounted the skittles, or mixed up the
amount of each color of skittles. I also could have done the wrong confidence
percentage. I could’ve counted multiple times to double check my work to make sure
nothing was miscounted.
