The purpose of this week asynchronous activity is to demonstrate Statistical Process Control $($SPC$)$ using peanut M&M$\text{'}$s which I hope will help you to understand where it is derived.

First view the video on how M&M candies are made $($How Mars Makes M&M$$s Chocolate Candies$).$ Note the different parts of production. Further note that all processes have variation, all measurements have variation.

Obtain approximately $10$ small bags of M&M$$s $($multi$-$coloured$).$ Arrange the unopened bags in a single row and treat each bags as a sample from an ongoing process, in order you have placed them. Treat the yellow candies $($or another colours that is fewest in number in each bag$)$ as defects. If you are unable to get small bags of M&M$$s you can go ahead to use the data in the spreadsheet attached or make assumptions.

Determine the upper and lower control limits for the sample proportion of defectives using the three$-$sigma control limits$.$ Note the number of cadies in each bag may not be exactly the same. You can ignore that.

Is the process variation random? Explain how you reached your conclusion.
