M&M/MARS, maker of M&M Chocolate candies, conducted a national poll in which more than 10 million people indicated their preference for a new color. The tally of this poll resulted in the replacement of tan-colored M&Ms with a new blue color. In the brochure “Colors,” made available by M&M/MARS Consumer Affairs, the distribution of colors of the plain color is as follows:
Brown

Yellow

Red

Orange

Green

Blue

30%

20%

10%

In a follow-up study, samples of 1-pound bags were used to determine whether the reported percentages were indeed valid. The following results were obtained for one sample of 506 plain candies.

    1. When data are read from a text file, you can use the BufferedReader to read one line at a time. After a line of data is read, there is no way of going back to read it again. To overcome this you can first read all the data into a structured object to store them, and then process the data later. Please use the DNA class (we have developed in the past a few weeks, which has properties of ID and seq, and the set/get methods) to develop a Java program to read in a FASTA format DNA sequence file, and parse out each sequence record into the part of ID and sequence. The ID is identified between the ">" and the "|" in the header line, and the sequence is the concatenation of all lines of the sequence part into a single string. Each DNA sequence record can then be stored into an array element of the DNA class. Use a loop in your program to prompt the user to enter a sequence ID, and if the ID exists print out the sequence. If the ID does not exist, print out a warning message. Exit the loop if the user enters “quit”. Please use the sequence file (seq.fasta) as the input file. Below is a sample output of the program: (2 points)…

    The calculations determined that in both cases the claims are rejected. In the case of the claim that 20% of skittles are red, the class proportion of 20.4% red skittles and is found to be unlikely to be correct and therefore is rejected because the calculated p-value is less than the significance level. Also, the claim that the mean number of skittles per bag is 55 is tested against the class mean of 59.98. This is also determined to be unlikely correct and is rejected as well because the calculated test statistic falls within the critical…

In part one, we focused on sampling whereas each class member purchased a 1.69 oz bag of plain M&Ms randomly from 3 different retailers and recorded the color of each on to an Excel spread sheet.

    In the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (rpt. in James P. Place, Literature: A reader for Freshman Composition II, 1st ed. [Boston: Pearson, 2011] 122-168), the oracles had prophesied that Oedipus would kill his father and beget children by his mother. Oedipus does not want to do the things that Apollo predicted; he is no puppet, but indeed the controller of his own fate. Oedipus was unwilling to have his fate come true; he was frightened that he would kill his adopted parents. He believes they were his real parents, therefore he left to Thebes. The decision he made was based on the stories he heard. This led to Oedipus’s own downfall.…
