This mathematics SBA project is based on if the sweets M&M are evenly distributed?

The
purpose of the SBA is to investigate whether or not the colors in the SBA are evenly
administered. The researcher will collect and calculate the amount of M&M that was distributed
in each package. The data will be illustrated on a column graph to determine the answer to said
question above.
The researcher went on and buy 4 packs of M&M and gave each member of the group to
carry out an investigation. Each person would be asked to open their M&M’s to separate the
different colors in each packet. The calculation method addition will be used to find the sum of
each different distributed color. Each person will then analyze the sum of each color to see if
they are evenly distributed.
The table showing the number of M&M that are distributed in the packages.

COLOR NUMBER

BROWN 7

BLUE 16

RED 9

ORANGE 9

YELLOW 32

GREEN 20

The table above illustrates 4 packs of M&M evenly distributed whereas, Yellow has the highest
amount of 32 and Brown has the least amount of 7. The maximum of 23 M&M was counted in
each pack. Red and Orange has the similar amount of 9, while Blue has 16 and Green has 20.

According to data presented yellow counted the highest with a
maximum of 32 comparing to Brown that has a minimum of 7. Red and
Orange are similar which means they both add up to 9. Green counted
20 comparing to Blue which has the value of 16.

The research conducted revealed that the number of M&M distributed by color are not even.
 The yellow M&M calculated the highest amount in each pack.
 The total number in the package brown calculated the least amount.
 Red and orange calculated the exact amount which is 9.
Even though they were from different packages it was clearly stated that
the colors in M&M were not evenly distributed.
