Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question involves testing whether the observed data (the number of each type of flavour in the purchased bag) fits the expected proportions of flavours as claimed by the candy company. This is a goodness-of-fit test, as we are testing the goodness of fit of the observed data to the expected distribution. Homogeneity and independence tests involve comparing two or more groups or variables, and are not applicable in this scenario.
