A large food distributor claims that 45% of all individuals who purchase eggs from its grocery stores choose standard white eggs, 25% choose standard brown eggs, 20% choose organic eggs, and 10% choose free-range eggs. To investigate this claim, researchers collected data from a random sample of the distributor's customers in a large city. The results were 274 white, 159 brown, 126 organic, and 41 free-range egg purchases. Are the data from the sample consistent with the distributor's claim? Conduct an appropriate statistical test at the 5% significance level to support your conclusion. Make sure to include parameters, check conditions, and show calculations before formulating a conclusion

Individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol do not use the calories from this source as efficiently as calories from other sources. One study examined the effects of moderate alcohol consumption on body composition and the intake of other foods. Fifteen subjects participated in a crossover design where they either drank wine for the first 6 weeks and then abstained for the next 6 weeks or vice versa. During the period when they drank wine, the subjects, on average, lost...
