Is investigating this sample proportion the same as investigating the sampling distribution of the proportion?No, the sample comes from only one store. The sample needs to be expanded to multiple candy stores.Yes, the customers will most likely purchase different weights of candy, and the different amounts will be evenly distributed.No, the sampling distribution of the proportion is the distribution of the proportions from all samples, not just one.Yes, at least 100 customers were observed.
