I have a bucket with 500 marbles of 6 colors (reb, blue, green, yellow, black, and white) and three sizes (big, medium, small). I want to know whether there are an equal # of marbles for each color (i.e., 16% red, 16%, blue, etc.). 1) What test should I use and what should my sample size be? 2) If I suspect red marbles represent 32%, blue 8%, green 8%, and the other colors 16% each, what test should I use to confirm this suspicion and how large a sample do I need? 3) What test should I use if I want to determine whether color statistically varies by size (e.g., red marbles are more likely to be of small size)? What sample size do I need? |

500 marbles! -- I would just dump out the bucket and count/sort them all...why bother with samples? |

The marble example provided is an analogy for the actual problem. For exposition purposes, let us assume it costs $100 to count each marble. |
