(a) Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
(b) Determine the test statistic. Show all work; writing the correct test statistic, without
supporting work, will receive no credit.
(c) Determine the P -value for this test. Show all work; writing the correct P-value, without
supporting work, will receive no credit.
(d) Is there sufficient evidence to support the researcher’s claim? Explain
18. The UMUC Daily News reported that the color distribution for plain M&M’s was: 40% brown,
20% yellow, 20% orange, 10% green, and 10% tan . Each piece of candy in a random sample of
100 plain M&M’s was classified according to color , and the results are listed below. Use a 0.05
significance level to test the claim that the published color distribution is correct. Show all work
