M&Ms The candy company claims that 16% of the Milk Chocolate M&Ms it produces are green. Suppose that the candies are thoroughly mixed and then packaged in small bags containing about 50 M&Ms. A class of elementary school students learning about percents opens several bags, counts the various colors of the candies, and calculates the proportion that are green. a) If we plot a histogram showing the proportions of green candies in the various bags, what shape would you expect it to have? b) Can that histogram be approximated by a Normal model? Explain. c) Where should the center of the histogram be? d) What should the standard deviation of the sampling distribution be?
