MAT 300 M&Ms® Project Part 3 (21 pts) We will be constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of each color as well as the mean number of candies per bag. You will use the methods of 6.3 for the proportions and 6.1 for the mean. For the Bonus, you will use the sample size formula on page 338. You can use StatCrunch to assist with the calculations. A link for StatCrunch can be found under Tools for Success in Course Home. Here is also a link: http://statcrunch.pearsoncmg.com/statcrunch/larson_les4e/dataset/index

process a random sample of 36 bolts manufactured has a mean of 3 inches w/ a standard deviation of .3 inches. What is the 99% confidence interval for the true mean length of the bolt? Confidence interval = [pic] = (2.87, 3.13) 2. When the population is normally distributed, population standard deviation σ is unknown, and the sample size is n = 15; the confidence interval for the population mean σ is based on the ________.
