Suppose a consumer affairs representative for Mars Incorporated claims that M&M’s plain chocolate candies are mixed such that each large production batch has the following percentages of colored candies: 20% brown, 10%yellow, 10% red, 10% orange, 20% green, and 30% blue.

Question

Suppose a consumer affairs representative for Mars Incorporated claims that M&M’s plain chocolate candies are mixed such that each large production batch has the following percentages of colored candies: 20% brown, 10%yellow, 10% red, 10% orange, 20% green, and 30% blue. To test this claim, a professor distributed small sample bags of M&M’s to students and had them count the number of candies of each color. The counts of the students were then pooled with the following results. At α=0.01, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentages are different from what the representative claims.
