Note that both probability distribution for H0 and HA are the results of assumptions about reality, and that at this stage only the sample size, the amount of candies in a bag (10) has been used to determine the distribution.

the second half of this sentence is not true: To determine the distribution of this binomial distribution in Figure 4.4, we only need p = 0.2 and n = 10. I am not sure what does "sample size" mean here.

I'm referring to n = 10 in terms of sample size. It is a bit of a stretch, because it is the amount of candies available in the bag. What would you propose?

I see your point now. Before I understood that "sample size" and "the amount of candies in a bag(10)" refer to two different things, which did not make sense. But you meant the same thing. Ok.
