TAMS #4 Assignment:
Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis testing
Purpose: In this assignment, you will explore how we can make
inferences about unknown population
parameters, the meaning of the margin of error, and how
predictions in the press about a result with a

unlikely to happen under the null
hypothesis.

S9 – Confidence Intervals: Students will be able to compute
confidence intervals and interpret the
interval in the context of the problem.
S10 – Hypothesis Testing: Students will be able to perform

and interpret the final result in the context of the problem.
MP2 – Communicate a Viable Argument: Students will be able
to justify a statistical analysis in words
and communicate that justification.

Problem 1 – Exploring Confidence intervals
Confidence intervals are at the heart of statistical inference.
They tell us how confident we can be that
the data we get from a sample truly represents what the
population parameter is. Whether it is
predicting the outcome of an election, doing market analysis to
project the popularity of a consumer
product, or testing a medical device for safety and efficacy,
confidence intervals allow us to have a
sense of what the world looks like.
You are a manager at The Hershey Company in charge of
manufacturing bags of Reese’s. Each bag has
a total of 200 pieces of candy in it.
a) Your boss tells you not to have fewer than 20% and not more
than 45% of the Reese’s Pieces be
orange, but within that range, you get to select. Make a

5. selection of p, the desired manufacturing
proportion of orange Reese’s Pieces from the interval [0.20,
0.45], using two decimal places. Write
down this value of p at the top of the answer template.
b) Once production of the bags of Reese’s Pieces has started,
quality control needs to test that the
manufacturing proportion is happening as designed. We’re
going to use a Reese’s Pieces app to
draw random samples of mixed bags of candy. Go to
http://www.rossmanchance.com/applets/OneProp/OneProp.htm?
candy=1 and set the probability
of orange pieces to your choice of the desired manufacturing
proportion p (with two decimal
places), the number of candies to 200 and the number of
samples to 1. Uncheck the box next to
“Animate”. Then click on Draw Samples. Write down the
number of orange pieces in the second
column of the table in the answer template. Then compute the
95% confidence interval and fill in
the information in the first row of the table of the answer
template. Remember – z* for 95%
confidence level is 1.96.
• # of orange candies in your sample: _______ (record in
column 1 of the table)
• Sample proportion: �̂� = _______ (record in column 2 of
the table)
• Standard error: #!"($%!")
'
=

6. • Margin of error: ± �∗ ∙ #!"($%!")
'
=
• Lower bound of 95% confidence interval: �̂� − �∗ ∙
#!"($%!")
'
=
• Upper bound of 95% confidence interval: �̂� + �∗ ∙
#!"($%!")
'
=
• Interval in which the true parameter lies with 95% probability:
Either take a photo of your computations and insert it into the
answer template or type your
calculations into the answer template using the Word equation
editor.

TEMPLATE PROVIDED
c) Now go back to the App and create 19 bags of 200 candies,
one at a time. After each time you get a
bag (sample), record the number of orange pieces in the first

7. column of the table in the answer
template.
d) You will now use an app for confidence intervals
https://sample-size.net/confidence-interval-
proportion/ which will perform the computations you did in part
b by hand for the 19 bags you
created in part c. Follow the example in the app instructi ons
document to set up the app and to
compute the sample proportions and confidence intervals for the
20 bags. Read off the sample
proportions, record them, and use the lower and upper limits of
the confidence intervals to write
the confidence interval in the table in the format (lower limit,
upper limit) in the third column of
the table. Round to three decimal places.
Finally, for each row, check whether the value of the desired
manufacturing proportion p that you
selected (listed at the top of the answer template) is contained
in the confidence interval or not. If
it is in the interval, put a checkmark into the last column.
Otherwise, put an x. Make sure you are
checking for p and not p-hat.
e) Count how many of the confidence intervals in your table
contain your chosen parameter value p
(the desired manufacturing proportion), the true proportion of
orange pieces that is included in the
bag. Make sure to count each interval separately. In other
words, if you had two different bags that
had the same number of orange pieces, you count those intervals
separately. Once you have counted
the intervals that contain p, compute the percentage of intervals
(of the 20) that contain your chosen

8. value of p. Show your computation. Give your final percentage
in the context of the problem.
f) How does your answer in part e relate to the fact that you
computed confidence intervals at level
95%? Write a short paragraph explaining what it means to have
a 95% confidence interval in terms
of the proportion of orange pieces that you can expect in any
given bag of candy.
Problem 2 – Hypothesis Testing
California has recently been a battleground regarding whether
or not “gig economy workers”,
particularly drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft, should be
classified as employees or independent
contractors. Being classified as an employee has benefits such
as overtime pay and worker’s
compensation insurance. Being classified as an independent
contractor has benefits such as flexibility
and the ability to write off expenses on your taxes. Uber and
Lyft say that most of their drivers need
the flexibility, as they drive part-time to supplement a second
job.
A worker's advocacy group is concerned that despite the
companies’ comments that drivers are
actually driving for Uber and Lyft as their primary job. The
group defines the job as a primary job if
income from Uber and Lyft accounts for more than half of a
worker’s income. The advocacy group
decides to commission a survey of Uber and Lyft drivers to

9. determine if more than 60% of the drivers
are driving as their primary job or as a secondary job.
DO NOT SUBMIT THIS DOCUMENT – USE THE ANSWER
TEMPLATE PROVIDED
The advocacy group did a study of 1,127 Uber drivers and found
that 714 of them were driving as their
primary job. They then did a study of 823 Lyft drivers and
found that 510 of them were driving as their
primary job.
Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test for each company to
check whether the results from this
sample provide sufficient evidence that most of the drivers for
Uber and/or Lyft are driving as their
primary job.
a) What is the most appropriate test, a two-tailed test, a right-
tailed test, or a left-tailed
test? Explain how you know.
b) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Make sure to use
proper notation.
c) Use an app or calculator/z-score table to do the following:
i. Calculate the test statistic.

10. ii. Determine the P-value
An app option is:
https://digitalfirst.bfwpub.com/stats_applet/generic_stats_applet
_22_pvalprop.html
If you use an app, Insert a screenshot for each hypothesis test
from the app into your answer
template and explain how the app answers your question.
d) State the conclusion about the null hypothesis.
e) For each company, do more than 60% of their drivers drive
as a primary job? Justify your
answer with evidence from the hypothesis test.
