Question 1177489: M&M’s As noted in an earlier chapter, the Master-foods Company says that until very recently yellow candies made up 20% of its milk chocolate M&M’s, red another 20%, and orange, blue, and green 10% each. The rest are brown. On his way home from work the day he was writing these exercises, one of the authors bought a bag of plain M&M’s. He got 29 yellow ones, 23 red, 12 orange, 14 blue, 8 green, and 20 brown. Is this sample consistent with the company’s stated proportions? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.
