Question:

Data Set 27 "M&M Weights" in Appendix B includes data from 100 M&M candies, and 19 of them are green. Mars, Inc. claims that 16% of its plain M&M candies are green. For the following, assume that the claim of 16% is true, and assume that a sample consists of 100 M&Ms.
a. Use the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low and those that are significantly high. Based on the results, is the result of 19 green M&Ms significantly high?
b. Find the probability of exactly 19 green M&Ms.
c. Find the probability of 19 or more green M&Ms.
d. Which probability is relevant for determining whether the result of 19 green M&Ms is significantly high: the probability from part (b) or part (c)? Based on the relevant probability, is the result of 19 green M&Ms significantly high?
e. What do the results suggest about the 16% claim by Mars, Inc.?
