Question 7 • Statistics

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

Answer

B
Yes, because a proportion of 0 point 4 or less occurred 75 out of 100 times, the sample proportion of winners is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is false.
C
