Question

problem stats In a sample of 100 colored candies, there are 11 red candies, 2 blue candies, 21 yellow candies, and 66 brown candies. Estimate the probability that when a candy is randomly selected, it is one that is blue. The market of the candy claims that 24% of its candies are blue. Does the estimate from part roughly agree with this claim, or does there appear to be substantial disagreement? The probability of randomly drawing a blue candy is. (Type a decimal of fraction.) Does the estimate roughly agree with the claim? No yes

Explanation / Answer

Total candies = 100

11 red, 2 blue , 21 yellow 66 brown , so probability of selecting blue is

2 /100 = 0.02

as can be seen out of 100 only 2% of the candies are blue , so the claim that 24% candies are blue is not true
