    The document summarizes the results of an experiment counting the colors of Skittles in a bag. It found that green was the most common at 17 Skittles and red the least common at 8. For a bag of 5,000 total Skittles, it estimates there would be 1,450 green Skittles based on the observed frequency. It also notes a hypothesis test found insufficient evidence that the proportion of red Skittles in the sample differs from the conjectured value.

    RED- 8
    ORANGE- 11
    TOTAL- 58
    PART B

    Yy
    PART C.
    What is the most common color and least common color?
    Most common- Green Least common- Red
    What is the relative frequency for red Skittles? Note: this is the value for
    that you will use in part E below.
    Relative Frequency- .1379
    Conjecture the number of Skittles of the most common color if you had a bag of 5,000 total Skittles.
    1,450
    17/58= .29
    .29 x 5,000= 1,450

    PART D.
    Yes, this was a random sample because not every skittle bag had the same chance of being selected.
    Each bag contained different quantities of each color and not every bag contained the same total.

    PART E.
    0.3450> 0.05
    Fail to reject the null.
    There is insufficient evidence to support the alternative claim
