Confidence intervals are used to help you get a better feel for your estimated value. Confidence intervals are like nets. You don't know what the TRUE proportion value is so you throw a net (find a confidence interval based upon a survey). The confidence level indicates the percentage of times your net would "catch" the true pop
We will be constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of each color as well as the mean number of candies per bag. Use the methods of 6.3 for the proportions and 6.1 for the mean. If calculating by hand, be sure to keep at least 4-6 decimal places for the sample proportions to eliminate large rounding errors.
