Question

The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 15%. Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 45 M&M's.

a) State the random variable.

    Select an answer rv X = the probability that a randomly selected M&M is brown rv X = is brown rv X = the number of 45 randomly selected M&Ms that are brown rv X = a randomly selected M&M that is brown rv X = a randomly selected M&M rv X= the number of randomly selected M&Ms that are brown rv X = all M&Ms that are brown 

b) List the given numeric values with the correct symbols.

    ? σ N X μ X̄ n s p  = 45

    ? σ μ p n N X̄ s X  = 0.15

c) Compute the mean.

    Round final answer to 2 decimal places.

    

    Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the mean?

    Select an answer Most of the time in a sample of 45 M&Ms 6.75 of them are brown In a sample of 45  M&Ms 6.75 of them are brown Out of every 45 M&Ms, 6.75 of them on average are brown 

d) Compute the standard deviation.

    Round final answer to 2 decimal places.
