Milk Chocolate M&M’s come in 6 colors; blue, orange, green, yellow, red, and brown.

1. Choose your favorite color of M&M’s you will be working with for this project. State the color and give the counts below.

Color of choice:

Number of M&M's in your color:

Total number of M&M's:

Proportion of M&M's in your color:

2. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of M&M’s one can expect to find in the color of your choice.

3. Give an interpretation of your interval.

4. Find the margin of error for your interval.

5. Check the requirements for constructing a confidence interval for the proportion are satisfied. Show your work. (See the note in the gray/blue box on page 426)

6. The conditions might not be satisfied, depending on how many candies were in your bag. If the conditions are not met, what could you do? (Note—you don’t have to redo the experiment to meet the conditions, just say what you would do.)

7. Does your interval contain the stated proportion by M&Ms for the color you chose?

8. If you had a larger sample, how would you expect the confidence interval to be affected? Provide justification.

Find a confidence interval from a source or article you’re interested in. Post the confidence interval and an interpretation of the article. You can add substance to your post by including some things you find interesting about the article/source you used.

Please post your source.

Twelve chairs are to be painted. The available colors are Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow, and every chair must be painted with one color. Assuming that all coloring schemes are equally likely, what is the probability that one color is not used and there are at least two chairs of every other color ? (The answer is 0.25) Can anyone explain to me why ?

(5 pts) Suppose that the five standard Skittles colors (red, orange, yellow, green, purple) occur with equal relative frequency. Use the random digits below to simulate the colors of 4 randomly selected Skittles. Continue to do this until you have generated 12 such samples of 4 Skittles. Use the results of these simulations to approximate that probability that a sample of 4 Skittles will contain at least two Skittles of the same color. 28491 06339 65216 31007 92314 50271 82943...
