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 set up a simulation to mimic buying 200 small packets of milk chocolate M&M;'s. Each packet contains 55 candies. We made this dotplot of the results. io points 00 0.1 0.2 03 0.40.5 Proportion_Orange Now suppose that we buy a small packet of M&M;'s, we find that 9% (5 of the 55) of the M&M;'s are orange. What can we conclude from the sampling distribution? This result is not surprising because we expect to see many samples with less than 9% orange candies. o This result is not surprising because random samples are expected to vary. o This result is surprising because it is unlikely that we will select a random sample with only 9% orange candies if 20% of milk chocolate M&M;'s are orange. A. B. C. This result is surprising because we expect the orange candies to make up at least 20% of the candies in a packet

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

The dot plot of distribution of sample proportions have many samples which have less than 9% of orange candies.

So,the correct answer will be Option A.

This result is not surprising because we expect to see many samples with less than 9% orange candies.
