The hard candy has three distinct colors red, white and orange and equal proportion of each candy is present in the standard bag. The manager wants to know whether the bags produced last Monday were similar to the standard bag. To test this, they plan to choose a random bag from the batch and compare it with the standard bag. You will have to answer questions below to assist the manager in comparing the two bags. 1. What is the alternate hypothesis for this exercise? (Select the most appropriate response)
A. The bag of candy produced last Monday is like the standard bag.
B. The bag of candy produced last Monday is different from the standard bag.

B. The bag of candy produced last Monday is different from the standard bag.
C. The two bags cannot be compared.
D. We need more bags to complete the comparison.
3. After performing the necessary calculations, the chi-square value of the test is 6.7. The cut-off/critical value of chi-square test is 5.991 (for 5% chance).
