beaches beautiful and our community strong. The confidence interval (also called margin of error) is the plus-or-minus figure usually reported in newspaper or television opinion poll results. For example, if you use a confidence interval of 4 and 47% percent of your sample picks an answer you can be "sure" that if you had asked the question of the entire relevant population between 43% (47-4) and 51% (47+4) would have picked that answer. The confidence level tells you how sure you can be. It is expressed

has dropped below the past noted 25%. To do this, we will find the confidence interval, as well as test to see if the 25% is reasonable. With 100 ingots, we have determined that with 90% confidence, between 17.8% and 32.1% will have cracks. This is in line with the company’s estimate of 25%, and after testing, it is determined that this hypothesis will not be rejected. With 1000 ingots, we have determined that with 90% confidence, between 22.7% and 27.2% will have cracks. This is also in line with

M&Ms® Project Report Rachel Carr Professor Patty Fuller MAT 300- Statistics June 8, 2013 Abstract This paper is about the color proportion of each bag of M&Ms®.

In fact, I will show through random selection process that M&Ms® brand candies each have a different number of candies in the bag and from that a different percentage
