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.
