M&Ms Activity
Has the color distribution of M&M’s changed?
According to the M&M’s website in 2008, the color distribution for regular M&M’s was:
brown 13%, red 13%, yellow 14%, blue 24%, orange 20%, and green 16%
1. What data is quantitative and which is qualitative?
2. Is this a sample data collection or an experimental data collection?
3. What type of graph will use to evaluate the distribution?
4. Based on a random sample of regular M&M’s, do we have convincing evidence that the color distribution has changed?
(we will learn how to answer this question as we learn more material throughout this course)
