Question

Imagine taking an SRS of $50$$M\&M’S$. Make a graph showing a possible distribution of the sample data. Give the value of the appropriate statistic for this sample.

Short answer

The test statistic is $0.22$.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

The percentages of milk, blue, orange, green, yellow, red and brown are$24\%,20\%,16\%,14\%,13\%and13\%$candies in $M\&M\text{'}s$ milk chocolate.

Number of candies are $50$.

Explanation

Orange candies are the parameter of interest.

The appropriate test statistic's value for the given sample can be determined as follows:

$\hat{p}=\frac{\text{Number of candies}}{\text{Total candies}}$

$=\frac{11}{50}$

$=0.22$
