Mars Inc. claims that they produce M&Ms with the following distributions:

Brown 30% Red 20% Yellow 20%
Orange 10% Green 10% Blue 10%


A bag of M&Ms was randomly selected from the grocery store shelf, and the color counts were:

Brown 25 Red 23 Yellow 21
Orange 13 Green 15 Blue 14


Using the ?2 goodness of fit test (? = 0.10) to determine if the proportion of M&Ms is what is claimed. Select the [p-value, Decision to Reject (RH0) or Failure to Reject (FRH0)].

According to Mars, Inc., 20% of all M&Ms produced are blue. One bag of 50 M&Ms represents the sample for this problem. The sample data can be used to perform a two-sided hypothesis test to test whether 20% of all M&Ms are blue. In one bag of 50 M&Ms, there are 14 blue M&Ms. Use this data to test whether 20% of all M&Ms are blue.
