M&M Project

They are one of the most swel probe candles In America, cosmos Included In many disparate outlets Including MASCARA, hot air balloons, video games, you name It. In this report I computer programme to go over each(prenominal) individual part of the M&M report that was conducted throughout the course of the class. While doing that I will try to explain it to the best of my ability in the simplest terms possible so even just aboutwhatone who doesnt have a lick of statistical companionship will be adequate to understand what took place and be able to grasp the results. Part 1 In the first part of the M report, we had a very simple task.The task was to go UT to a convenience store and buy three bags of M, and count how many different pieces of candy were In each of the three bags. Out of the entire students in the class I would say every single students count of each individual color was different. But for the classes sake all of the change were added up, as was the gramme tot al of all the candies combined in the three bags. The grand total was Blue 934, Orange 1025, Green 928, Yel deplorable 639, Red 556, brownness 616 and the total being 3684. It is interesting because watching the video they said that authoritative colored candies have a higher percentage than others.One of those colors being Red, and Red is the lowest. Part 2 In part 2 we were tasked to aim the sample proportions as well as the sample misbegotten. After we destroyed calculating those two, a histogram was created. After that, another sheet on the spreadsheet was apply to calculate a descriptive statistics. Finally a summary of a list of things was needed to be gathered for the final portion. at that place Is a pretty simple to calculate the info that is generated in the descriptive statutes. There is a handy tool called staunch that If you plug In a few numbers It will spit back the answers that you are clear-cut for without all the fuss.Part 3 In part 3 our goal was to fashi on confluent intervals for the proportion of each color as well as the mean number of candles per bag. A 95% confidence level gives an denotation of how accurate your calculated value is, which Is more accurate than simply the mean or the median. A 95% confidence level means that 95 out of carbon cadences your value will fall in mingled with your confidence interval so 95 out of 100 times 1 will De In your consonance Interval. I en enlarger your consonance level (percentage) the smaller your interval will be and consequently the more accurate your results will be. Part 4For Part 4 we were tasked to queue up the unsatisfying, alternative hypothesis, the critical value, foot race statistic, whether or not to revoke the hypothesis, and the finis of each individual color. As well as a test claim to determine if the bag would have more than 54 pieces of candies. The null hypothesis basically states that there is no statistical difference between the groups youre comparing. The alternative states that there is a difference. You accept the null when your statistical abridgment value is below the critical value, which depends on the p value. For this section we had to enchant calculate for each individual color.After that, we had to test that the bag had more than 54 different pieces of candies. Part 5 Finally, for part 5 we had to do a similar test as part 4 except this time it wasnt for all of the colors. It was only for red and brown combined. So we do the uniform formulas that were used in part 4, and we were able to achieve the answers we were looking for. We demonstrate that for red and brown the critical value at . 05 alpha, was 1. 960 the test statistic -1. 773 and we failed to reject it. Quality Assurance I would say that from watching the video, there seems to be two reasons that loud affect the process of the colors.One of the reasons that I think the colors could potentially be off target is because it is possible that the ink gets low in the tanks that spray the gloss onto the pieces of candy. Another reason that they could be find is when they are all mixed together they may or may not be dry. If they arent dry, then there is a chance that many of the pieces could rub together, and some of the color could rub off on the candy. The mailboat distribution is another thing that would affect the percentages of the candies.Although in the video is dialog bout how certain colors have a higher or lower or share a mixed percentage, there is a chance that even knowing that, the machine could make errors, and divvy out some out the pieces incorrectly. Conclusion Overall the project was something that was interesting to work on. It offered some new insight on the M&Ms candy itself. introductory to doing the assignments I had no clue that they were broken down into specific percentages, nor do I know that they had people that studied the colors of the candy in any case when you bring statistics into the mix, it also adds an other layer of fun so to speak.
