The table I have is:
Color of Candy Frequency Proportion (as a fraction and decimal) Percentage
Red 13 13/100 or .13 13%
Orange 25 25/100 or .25 25%
Yellow 8 8/100 or .08 8%
Brown 8 8/100 or .08 8%
Blue 27 27/100 or .27 27%
Green 19 19/100 or .19 19%
TOTALS 100 100/100 or 1 100%
I am trying to answer:
If you wanted to estimate the percentage of each color of candy to within 2 percentage points, how many individual pieces of candy of each color must you sample? Assume you want a 90% confident in your results.
