You are testing if their proportions are equal to one another‚ NOT if they are equal to one another AND equal to 13%. NOTE: These are NOT independent samples‚ but we will use this approach anyway to practice the method. This also means that n1 and n2 will both be the total number of candies in all the bags. The

M&M Report Alex Colbert Strayer University Abstract Statistics is not an easy topic for your everyday person to pick up and make it easy for them to understand. Equations and hypothesis and the like can be overwhelming and confusing. But what about when you relate it to something that is common in everyday life? Throughout the semester we were given the task to evaluate M&Ms in a few different statistical ways. Throughout this report the goal is to be able to explain what happened‚ and offer

M&Ms® Project Report September 12‚ 2013 Abstract This paper will discuss the methods taught in Statistics this past semesters using what is being referred to as the M&M® project. Methods include random sampling‚ calculating random proportions‚ mean‚ standard deviations‚ creating histograms and identifying their shape such as bell‚ constructing confidence intervals for proportions and hypothesis testing of the samples. Each section of the M&M® project will demonstrate

M & M Project Report Lakisha Fields Strayer University Instructor: Professor Heather Booth MAT 300 Elementary Statistics March 10‚ 2013 * INTRODUCTION: PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to examine the packaging process of M & M candies for a 1.69oz bag. This process is achieved by way of using random sampling to gather data on the number of colored M&M candies (blue‚ orange‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ brown‚) as well as testing the sample proportion /

The Packaging Process of the M&M Candy Elementary Statistics December 15‚ 2011 [pic] Abstract This experimental study will help explain some of the statistical concepts being taught in the classroom as well as show different examples of how these methods can be used. We will be using the 1.69 oz size bag of plain M&M candies which are for the purpose of convenience and affordability. From a larger perspective‚ we will be exploring the reason why M&M candies are processed and packaged

M & M Project Masterfoods USA put together a team to review the color a proportion of the M&M’s being placed in each 1.69 bag. To ensure that a random sample was obtained‚ each of the 20 members on the team acquired a bag of M&M’s from three different store locations. Each part of the project utilized the M&M’s obtained to determine if the color proportions are what the company expected to be in the bags. Additionally‚ the team identified a couple of process that could assist the company in

Aggressive Driving – anxiety and frustration are usually at the root of aggressive or careless driving. Occasionally‚ drivers find themselves in unpleasant situations involving abusive gestures or language from other drivers who take issue with how you are driving. Some tailgate‚ others speed through intersections or fail to yield the right of way. Aggressive driving may lead to “road rage”. If people drive responsibly they will reduce the risks of conflict on the road and help make our roads safer

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a written report of the five part M&M project. Part one was sampling. We were to purchase 3 bags of M&M and record the color counts of each bag in an Excel spread sheet. For part two we calculated the sample proportions for each color‚ the mean number of candies per1.69oz bag‚ created a histogram for the number of candies per bag‚ use Excel to compute the descriptive statistics for the total number of candies per bag and summarize the information
