A company packaging bags of M&Ms maintains quality control by randomly selecting 10 cases from each day’s production. Each case contains 50 bags. Then two bags are randomly selected from each case. They are then weighed to see if they are the appropriate weight. What is the population? Would it be considered a simple random sample? Explain.
Lastly, Is selection bias a big problem with the survey in Question 1? Please explain why or why not.

Vincent randomly selected a bag of M&Ms from a randomly selected gas station as he was driving down the interstate. Being bored while riding in the car he decided to evaluate his green M&Ms. From the simple random sample there were 19 green M&Ms with a sample mean weight of 0.8635 g any sample standard deviation of 0.0570 g. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Janine week of all the M&Ms is equal to 0.8535

A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds, and weighed the bags. They weighed 9.6, 9.3, 9.1,and.9.1 pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Does the interval capture 10 pounds? Is there enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the population mean weight is 10 pounds? Yes, it does capture 10. Reject the claim of 10 pounds...
