Which sample will yield a confidence interval with a larger margin of error? (A) A simple random sample of 300 students at your college or university. (B) A simple random sample of 200 students at your college or university. Explain.
B) A smaller sample produces a larger confidence interval (larger m). A large sample will better estimate the mean and produce a smaller confidence interval.

CandyCorp claims that mean Skittles consumption is 254 kcal/d with Ï = 540 kcal. A sample of 150 people have a mean Skittles consumption of 369.4 kcal/d. Does this suggest greater consumption than the CandyCorp claim? (Îą = 0.01)
Yes, evidence supports that the true mean Skittle consumption is greater than the CandyCorp claim. p = .0044 and p âĪ Îą. Reject Ho. Evidence supports Ha.

The p-value for a significance test is 0.033. Do you reject the null hypothesis at level Îą = 0.05? Explain how you determined your answer.
Yes, reject the null hypothesis. Reject the null when the p-value is less than or equal to alpha. Evidence supports the alternative hypothesis.

The p-value for a significance test is 0.059. Do you reject the null hypothesis at level Îą = 0.01? Explain how you determined your answer.
No, fail to reject the null hypothesis. We fail to reject the null when the p-value is greater than alpha. We do not have evidence to support the alternative.
