Question 4 • Statistics

Using the dotplot and sample proportion, is there convincing evidence that the teacher’s claim is false?

Answer
A
Yes, because a proportion of 0 point 4 5 or more occurred 87 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of red marbles is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that the teacher’s claim is false.
B
No, because a proportion of 0 point 4 5 or more occurred 87 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of red marbles is not statistically significant and there is not convincing evidence that the teacher’s claim is false.
C
Yes, because a proportion of 0 point 4 5 or less occurred only 16 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of red marbles is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that the teacher’s claim is false.
D
No, because a proportion of 0 point 4 5 or less occurred 16 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of red marbles is not statistically significant and there is not convincing evidence that the teacher’s claim is false.
