Skittles Data part 4 Angela Castro

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

P= x/n= 0.192 p=0.192

Confidence level interval estimate: (0.1676, 0.2167)

We are confident 99% that the proportion of the yellow skittles in any bag of skittles will fall
between 0.1676 and 0.2167

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

Sx=1.70
Sample mean= 59.72
Standard error mean= 0.225

Standard error mean formula: t= 𝑠 =0.225 1.70/7.55
√𝑛

To find the T-values, a “T-table” was used the degree of freedom is 50. Which is t= 2.009.
59.72+(t)(standard error mean)= Upper bound. 59.72-(t)(standard error mean)= lower bound.
59.72+(2.009)(0.225)= 60.17 59.72-(2.009)(0.225)= 59.27
95% Confidence Interval level (59.27, 60.17)
Confidence Level Interval Estimate of the population mean use sample data to extrapolate an
interval with specific degree of confidence. We are 95% confident that the mean number of any
Skittles bag is between 59.27 and 60.17.
