Question
Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical​ value, and state the conclusion.
 
A company claims that its packages of 100 candies are distributed with the following color​ percentages:12​% red, 21​% ​orange, 16​% yellow, 11​% brown,
23​% blue, and 17​% green. Use the given sample data to test the claim that the color distribution is as claimed. Use a 0.01 significance level.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The null and alternative hypothesis are stated as,

Null hypothesis:

H0:The distributions are the same.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:The distributions are different.

The expected values are,

Color Number in package Percent Expected frequency
Red 13 12% 100×0.12=12
Orange 25 21% 100×0.21=21
Yellow 10 16% 100×0.16=16
Brown 6 11% 100×0.11=11
Blue 27 23% 100×0.23=23
Green 19 17% 100×0.17=17

The test statistic is,

χ2=Observed-Expected2Expected=13-12212+25-21221+10-16216+6-11211+27-23223+19-17217=0.08+0.76+2.25+2.27+0.70+0.23=6.29

Thus, the test statistic is 6.29.
