Hypothesis test for M&Ms:
This section will work through constructing and interpreting a hypothesis test for
proportions. You can find the information for constructing a hypothesis test in
section 10.2. We will be using the p-value approach with a 5% significance level.
1. Treat your bag of M&M’s as a simple random sample. Choose your favorite
color of M&M’s you will be working with for this project. State the color
and give the counts below.
Color of choice: Green
The proportion of M&M's in your color: I had 12 green M&Ms in bag and total of M&Ms = 100... so 12/100?
The hypothesized proportion of M&M’s in your color:?
2. State the null and alternate hypothesis in both symbolic and sentence
form.
3. Use technology to find and state the p-value.

Your task is to pick a hypothesis to test about a population
proportion (section 8.2) or a population mean (section 8.3). Once
you have determined your hypothesis you must go and collect the
data. Make sure your sample meets the requirements of a test
presented in sections 8.2 and 8.3 (such as appropriate sample
size). Use a 0.05 significance level.
Please clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses in
symbolic form and in words. State any relevant statistics from your...
