Question

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

Answer 1

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.
