Question

A new brand cereal comes in five fruit flavors: orange, lemon, cherry, raspberry,
and banana. Tina poured out her morning bowl of cereal and methodically counted
the number of cereal pieces of each flavor.
Here are her data:

Flavor: Count
Orange: 30
Lemon: 25
Cherry: 13
Raspberry: 12
Banana: 20

Do these data provide convincing evidence that the new brand cereal does not contain an equal proportion of each flavor?
(Please use the 4-step process to solve this problem).
If you find a significant result, perform a follow-up analysis.

Answer 1

Yes, these data provide convincing evidence that the new brand cereal does not contain an equal proportion of each flavor, since a detailed count is given that allows identifying the numerical difference between each flavor.

Proportions

Thus, out of a total of 100 cereals, 30% is orange, 25% is lemon, 13% is cherry, 12% is raspberry, and 20% is banana.

Therefore, between the flavor with the highest proportion and the flavor with the lowest proportion, there is a difference of 18%, which shows that there is no equal distribution of flavors.
