CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING Mars, Incorporated, says that the mix of colors in its M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies is 24% blue, 20% orange, 16% green, 14% yellow, 13%% red, and 13% brown. Assume that the company's claim is true. We want to examine the proportion of orange M&M'S in repeated random samples of 50 candies. 1. Graph the population distribution. Identify the individuals, the variable, and the parameter of interest. 2. Imagine taking an SRS of 50 M&M'S. Make a graph showing a possible distribution of the sample data. Give the value of the appropriate statistic for this sample. 3. Which of the graphs that follow could be the approximate sampling distribution of the statistic? Explain your choice.
