Assume we want to use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the published color distribution is correct.
Identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
Determine the test statistic. Show all work; writing the correct test statistic, without supporting work, will receive no credit
Determine the critical value. Show all work; writing the correct critical value, without supporting work, will receive no credit
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the published color distribution is correct? Justify your answer.
