Simple Random 1. Open your bag and put all M&Ms into a container. Shake the container, close your eyes, and randomly select a sample of 10 M&Ms. 2. Record how many of each color M&M are in the sample of 10. Blue:2 Brown:4 Red:1 Green:0 Orange:2 Yellow:1 3. Determine the mean by multiplying the number of M&Ms of each color multiplied by the minutes (from the list above). For example, If 3 of your M&Ms were Blue you would multiply 3 by 6 to equal 18 minutes. Continue for each color represented in your simple random sample of 10. Blue: 12 Brown: 20 Red: 1 Green:0 Orange:4 Yellow:1 4. Now calculate your (SUM) Total minutes by adding up the products from number 3 above. Total sum= 38 5. Now calculate your (Mean) by dividing the sum in item 4 above by 10 (number of M&Ms in your sample). Total mean =3.8 6. Explain why this method represents a simple random sample
