Suppose you plan to offer a study session and need to know how many candies to bring and there-fore would like to estimate how many candies students tend to take on average. Below are results for the number of candies that 19 undergraduates took from a large bowl.
-Suppose I wanted to test whether the average number of candies taken was significantly different from 60, the expected number in a small bag of candies. Based on the above output, what conclusion will you draw, or do you not have enough information?
