The Mars candy company states that the percentage of blue M&Ms is equal to 24%. Test this claim using a significance level of α = 0.05. Using the z-score tables at the back of the textbook, find the z-score for a significance level of α = 0.05. (Will this be a negative or positive z-score?) This is the critical value. What is it? Sketch a normal distribution curve, plot the critical value, and highlight the critical or rejection region. Calculate the test statistic z. (Use the formula on page 401. Show your work.) What is it? On your graph, plot the z test statistic. Does it lie inside or outside the critical region? State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0 or fail to reject H0.) Should the Mars company take corrective action? Why or why not? Using the z-tables at the back of the textbook, what P-value is associated with this test statistic z? Based on this…arrow_forward

(This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
