Question:
Did you ever purchase a bag of M&M’s candies and wonder about the distribution of colors? You can go to the website www.baking.mms.
com and click the United States on the map, then click About M&M’s, then History of M&M’s Brand, Product Information, and Peanut and find the percentage breakdown according to the manufacturer, as well as a brief history of the product. Did you know in the beginning they were all brown? For peanut M&M’s 12 percent are brown, 15 percent yellow, 12 percent red, 23 percent blue, 23 percent orange, and 15 percent green. A 6-oz. bag purchased at the Book Store at Coastal Carolina University on November 1, 2005, had 12 blue, 14 brown, 13 yellow, 14 red, 7 orange, and 12 green. Is it reasonable to conclude that the actual distribution agrees with the expected distribution? Use the .05 significance level. Conduct your own trial. Be sure to share with your instructor.
