Question 126418
Biting an unpopped kernel of popcorn hurts! As an experiment, a self-confessed connoisseur of cheap popcorn carefully counted 773 kernels and put them in a popper. After popping, the unpopped kernels were counted. There were 86. 
(a) Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all kernels that would not pop.
E = z*(p-hat/sqrt(n))
E = 1.645*sqrt[(86/773)(687/773)/773) = 0.01131
90% C.I. = ((86/773)-0.01131 , (86/773)+0.01131)
============================
 
(b) Check the normality assumption.
pn= (86/773)773>5; nq=(687/773)773>5
-----------
(c) Try the Very Quick Rule. Does it work well here? Why, or why not? 
(d) Why might this sample not be typical? 
--------
Comment: Hopefully you know what "c" and "d" are all about.
