Answer 1

Solus Ho :p=0.5 Haip <0.5 XLS 5.= JP* (1-P) - 0.58O5 = 0.071 0.5 *0.5 =00071 z = P- 0.34 - 0.5 = 0.071 = --Q.254 P* (1-P then, plat most 50 were green )=P(Z2-20254) = 0.0121 Assume that 5% level of significance or a d=0.05 Since , 0.012120.05, we reject the null hypothesis. hat is half of the candies in the bag are really green.
