I'm currently working on sampling distribution and proportions in my college intro to stats class. I'm stuck on this 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. I need to find out how many standard deviations the observation is above the mean.
