Mars, Inc. states that 16% of all milk chocolate M&M’S® produced are green. A group of students took the following samples from a bowl of 500 mixed up M&M’S®.  (see attached) What information do we need in order to answer our question or investigate the claim that 16% of milk chocolate M&M’S® produced by Mars, Inc. are green?  How can we use the samples of M&M’S® to obtain this information? What value is at the center of the dot plot constructed by using one sample per group?  Is it a coincidence that the value is close to/far from the 16% claimed by Mars, Incorporated? Mars, Inc. claimed that 16% of milk chocolate M&M’S® produced are green.  Does the information on the dot plot seem to support this claim?  Why or why not?
