Answer:
According to this sample, the claim of the company is not true.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company claims that 20% of their mixed nuts are cashews, 30% are almonds, and the rest is peanuts and that they thoroughly mix millions of nuts and a machine shoots them into packages of 200.
To test their claim I bought a package of their mixed nuts. It contained 200 nuts. I counted 25 cashews, 50 almonds, and 125 peanuts.
We need to calculate the proportion of each type of nuts in the package sample.
Proportion= type of nuts/ total nuts
Proportion cashews= 25/200= 0.125
Proportion almonds= 50/200= 0.25
Proportion peanuts= 125/200= 0.625
According to this sample, the claim of the company is not true.
