Question 10 • Statistics

Using the dotplot and the proportion of winners in Jack’s sample, is there convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is wrong?

Answer
A
No; because a proportion of 0 occurred 3 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of winners is not statistically significant and there is not convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is false.
B
No; because a proportion more than 0 occurred 97 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of winners is not statistically significant and there is not convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is false.
C
Yes; because a proportion of 0 occurred 3 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of winners is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is false.
D
Yes; because a proportion of more than 0 occurred 97 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of winners is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is false.
