Question

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Get yourself a packet of M&Ms (not skittles or some other snack) and record your cost price (if you did not buy it your cost price is $0)

2. Before opening the packet, record the following information which is found on the packet: (i) Type of M&Ms (Plain, Peanuts and so on); (ii) Weight in oz (iii) Weight in gms

3. Open the packet and and create a frequency distribution table that records the number of each different color in your M&Ms packet

4. Based on the information in your frequency distribution table, create a bar graph of the colors in your M&M packet.

5. Based on the information in your frequency distribution table, create a pie/circle graph of the colors in your M&M packet.

6. Based on the information in your frequency distribution table, compute the relative frequency (experimental probability) of red in your packet of M&Ms. To compute relative frequency, take the frequency of red and divide it be the total number of M&Ms in your pack.

Answer 1

1. Cost = $13

2. Milk chocolate, 38 ounces, 1077.3 g

3. There are 6 colors Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow, Brown

5. Pie chart:

Pie Chart 712 632 616 740 712 606 Red Green Orange Blue Brown Yellow

or

PIE CHART Green Orange Blue Brown Red Yellow 18% 16% 15% 18% 18% 15%

6. Relative frequency:

Color	Count	Relative	Relative %
Red	632	0.157	15.7
Green	616	0.153	15.3
Orange	712	0.177	17.7
Blue	606	0.151	15.1
Brown	740	0.184	18.4
Yellow	712	0.177	17.7
Total	4018

or relative frequency of Red = 15.7
