You will build representativeness into the sample. For a sample of 10 or as close to 10 as possible, how many of each color would you select? 1. Take the numbers of each color in the entire bag from the calculation above. Blue: 5 Brown:5 Red: 1 Green:3 Orange: 6 Yellow:9 2. Divide the number of each color by total number in the bag. For example, if you have 3 yellow M&Ms and there are 50 M&Ms in the bag you would divide 3 by 50 to get 0.06 or 6%. Blue: 17% Brown: 17% Red: 3% Green:10% Orange: 21% Yellow:31% 3. Multiply each percentage by 10 to obtain a sample of 10. You will need to round. In the example above 6% are yellow M&Ms. I want a sample of 10 so I want to multiply 0.06 by 10 which equals 0.6. Here is where you will need to round as we can't sample 0.6 M&Ms. In this case you round 0.6 to 1 and select 1 yellow M&M for our quota sample of 10. You continue this process for each color. Because we are rounding, you
