DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
Based on all the data and calculations collected above, shows the
percentages of each colour of M&M’s from the total number of packs.
The colour that had the lowest percentage was blue which was 14.2%.
Actually, out of 1,168 M&M’s blue had a total of only 167 M&M’s which
was the lowest total amount compared to the other colours. The next
lowest percentage was obtained from orange with a percent of only
16.1% in the total number of packs.
For each colour, I also calculated the mean values using all the data
collected. The sample we used has shown us that usually in any
purchased/given pack of M&M’s it would have an average number of
11.15≈ 11 red M&M’s, 9.65 ≈ 10 green, 9.55 ≈ 10 yellow, 10.25 ≈ 10
brown, 9.45 ≈ 9 orange and 8.35 ≈ 8 blue.
The data collected was represented in a line graph, bar chart and pie
chart. Each one demonstrates, the amount of each colour of M&M’s in
the total packs.
