Question

Orange M & M's: The M & M's web site says that 20% of milk chocolate M & M's are orange. Let's assume this is true and use a simulation to create 200 random samples of 55 milk chocolate M & M's. The number of orange M & M's in each sample was counted. Here is a dotplot of the results: Imagine that we choose 5 more samples of 55 M & M's. Which sequence is the most likely for the percent of blue M & M's in these 5 samples? 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%, 24% 20%, 24%, 31%, 27%, 36% 6%, 24%, 42%, 9%, 44% Any of the above because the packets are random samples.

Explanation / Answer

Since we are picking the samples at random, the % of blues will be randomly distributed but they will fall in a certain range between 0.1-0.4 so the best answer is B. , C is out of range and A is all same.
