Jeanette really loves apple-flavored Fruity Tooty candies, but there always seems to be a lot of cherry-flavored candies in each bag. To determine whether this is because cherry candies are so popular or because each bag contains fewer apple candies, Jeanette randomly picks a Fruity Tooty candy from her bag, records its flavor, and places it back in the bag. Each bag contains a mixture of cherry, grape, apple, lemon, and orange flavors. Which statement about Jeanette's distribution of sample proportions is true? a.) The distribution of the count of picking a cherry candy cannot be modeled as approximately normal if Jeanette picks candies over 100 times. b.) The count of drawing an orange candy has a binomial distribution. c.) The distribution of the count of picking a lemon candy can be modeled as approximately normal if Jeanette picks candies 15 times. d.) The count of drawing an apple candy is not a binomial distribution.

Skittles Statistics teacher Jason Mole sky contacted Mars, Inc., to ask about the color distribution for Skittles candies. Here is an excerpt from the response he received: “The original flavor blend for the SKITTLES BITE SIZE CANDIES is lemon, lime, orange, strawberry and grape. They were chosen as a result of consumer preference tests we conducted. The flavor blend is 20 percent of each flavor.” (a) State appropriate hypotheses for a significance test of the company’s claim. (b) Find the expected counts for a bag of Skittles with 60 candies. (c) How large a C2 statistic would you need to get in order to have significant evidence against the company’s claim at the A 0.05 level? At the A 0.01 level? (d) Create a set of observed counts for a bag with 60 candies that gives a P-value between 0.01 and 0.05. Show the calculation of your chi-square statistic.
