Candy lab revisited

Suppose the color distribution for the candy from your initial Candy Lab is uniform. Based on the class data, does it appear that the distribution is actually uniform? (α = 0.08)

1. Ho: Ha:
2. Which γ ² - distribution test will be used?
3. Using Minitab, draw the γ ² probability graph and label it appropriately. Attach the graph to this lab.
4. What is the formula for calculating the test statistic?
5. Calculate the test statistic and the p-value using Minitab. Include the session window output.

test statistic = p-value =

Do you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Why? (Use a complete sentence.)

Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.

Favorite snacks

Is the choice of snack food dependent on gender? Survey sufficient numbers of fellow classmates and others to ensure that the conditions for this γ ^² test are met. (α = 0.05)
