Checking to see if I did this right??

A company manufactures chocolate candies and claims that the color distribution is as follows:

Color Probability
Brown 12%
Yellow 15%
Red 14%
Blue 20%
Orange 21%
Green 18%

A person wants to determine whether this is true. He randomly selected a bag of chocolate candies and obtains the following result:

Color Frequency
Brown 62
Yellow 63
Red 54
Blue 61
Orange 96
Green 64

Use SPSS to do the following:

  1. Show the observed frequencies and expected frequencies.
  2. At = 0.01 determine whether there is evidence that the actual color distribution is different from the claimed distribution.

a. 0 cells (0.0%) have expected frequencies less than 5. The minimum expected cell frequency is 48.0.

P-value = Asymp. Sig. = 0.044 > (0.01). Therefore is no evidence that the actual color distribution is different from the claimed distribution.
