Question

Skittles: The popular Skittles candy comes in 5 colors. According to the Skittles website, the colors are evenly distributed in the population of Skittle candies. So each color makes up 20% of the population.

Suppose that we buy 2 small bags of Skittles. We determine the percentage of green Skittles in one bag and the percentage of orange Skittles in the other bag. Suppose that each bag contains 40 candies. We define the difference in sample proportions as “green” minus “orange.”

Which of the following will give a sample difference of 0.10?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Here 40 Skittles in the each pack

The sample extents is given as green - orange

So ., Say we have G as green Skittles and O as orange Skittles at that point to have test distinction as 0.1 the condition can be composed as beneath

i.e.,

0.1= G/40 - O/40

4= G-O - Equation(1)

Here equation(1) is the ideal condition which we are searching for which expresses that the Green Skittles ought to be 4 more than the Orange Skittles thus since the choice 1 expresses that 10 Green and 6 Orange for example Green Skittles are 4 more than Orange Skittles i.e.,

10 green and 6 orange
