A candy manufacturer sells bags of chocolate treats that are supposed to be half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate. The CEO opens a bag of the chocolate treats and tells his factory supervisor that he thinks that the types of chocolate are not evenly split in the bag. The supervisor randomly selects several bags, examines 300 of the chocolates, and finds that 56% of the 300 chocolates he examined are dark chocolate. Use Excel to test whether the true proportion of dark chocolates is different from 50%. Identify the p-value, rounding to three decimal places.

  • firstly open excel
  • click on add ins, megastar, hypothesis tests, proportion vs hypothesized value
  • thirdly enter the pvalue of 0.56
  • fourthly in the hypothesized you should enter p value as 0.50
  • in alternative hypothesis enter not equal
  • then click okay

you will get a pvalue of 0.038 when you do this.
