A candy company that makes colored candies claims that 10% of the candies it produces are green and that bags are packed random

ly. In a really large bag of candies, we found 12% of 500 candies were green. Is this evidence that the manufacturing process is out of control and has made too many greens? Explain.

No. The sample size is too small to be reliable. If there were many bags of 500 candies that consistently showed a larger-than-marketed amount of green candy, that will be better proof.
