Group Project Part 4

1.Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion of

yellow candies.

Calc>Stats>Tests> 1-PropZInt
X = 1116 # of yellow Skittles in class data
n= 5702 total # of all skittles in class data
C= .99
Lower Bound (.182 ,.210 ) Upper Bound

2.Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean number
of candies per bag.

-I entered the data into a TI-84 stats.

stat>tests>8:TnInterval>calculate
Xbar: 118.792
Sx: 400.598
n=48
Lower bound(2.4702, 235.11) Upper Bound

3.Discuss and interpret (with complete sentences) the results of each of your
interval estimates.

Based on calculations from this data, I am 99% confident that the interval between ___ and ___
actually contains the true value of the population proportion p of yellow candies candies.

With 99% confidence the true proportion of yellow skittles is between .182 and .210

There is a 95% confidence that the proportion of candies per bag is between 2 and 235.
