Question:

M&M Candies: Are 10% Blue? According to a consumer affairs representative from Mars (the candy company, not the planet), 10% of all M&M plain candies are blue.

Data Set 19 in Appendix B shows that among 100 M&Ms chosen, 5 are blue. Estimate the probability of randomly selecting 100 M&Ms and getting 5 or fewer that are blue. Assume that the company’s 10% blue rate is correct. Based on the result, is it very unusual to get 5 or fewer blue M&Ms when 100 are randomly selected?
