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.
