Using the z-distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.
<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>
A confidence interval of proportions is given by:
In which:
is the sample proportion.
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 
, so the critical value is z = 1.96.
Researching this problem on the internet, 8 out of 39 candies are red, hence the sample size and the estimate are given by:
Hence the bounds of the interval are:
As a percentage, the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of red candies is of (7.84%, 33.18%). Since 33% is part of the interval, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the claim is wrong.

The half life of the substance is 6.92 days.
<h3>What is the Half life ?</h3>
Half life can be defined as the time required to reduce the concentration to half of its initial value.
Here the equation given is
The concentration will reduce to half therefore
so,
ln 0.5 = - 0.1001 * t(1/2)
-0.693 = -.1001 * t(1/2)
t(1/2) = 6.92 days.
Therefore the half life of the substance is 6.92 days.

Answer:
$95, $115, $135, $155
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first person gets x dollars:
the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars
the next person gets x + 40 dollars
and the last person gets x + 60 dollars
We add all these allocations together, and we get $500
x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500
Combine like terms
4x + 120 = 500
Subtract 120 on both sides
4x = 380
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 95
So the first person gets $95.
The second person must get $115
The third must get $135
And the fourth must get $155
Checking our work:
95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500
