The document outlines an experiment using the scientific method to determine the distribution of colors in a bag of M&Ms. The hypothesis predicted there would be 30 candies total, with specific numbers of each color, and that blue would be the most common. The experiment involved opening bags and counting colors. The data showed 35 candies in total, with blue being the most frequent at 16 candies. While the hypothesis was partially correct about blue being most common, the actual numbers differed from the predictions.

distribution of different colors of M&Ms in a bag. HYPOTHESIS We think that there are 30 candies total. There will be 5 yellows, 6 reds, 3 oranges, 3 greens, 7 blues, and 6 browns. The most common color will be blue. 20% 17% 23% 10% 20% 10% Red Yellow Blue Green Brown Orange EXPERIMENT We opened the bags of M&Ms and divided them into the different colors. We then counted the numbers for each.
DATA Color Frequency Percentage Red 2 5.7% Yellow 3 8.6% Blue 16 45.7% Green 0 0% Brown 2 5.7% Orange 12 34.3% Total 35 100% 6% 8% 46% 0% 6% 34% Red Yellow Blue Green Brown Orange CONCLUSION We were able to find that the blue M&M was the most frequent color of candy in the bag. Our hypothesis was partially correct in proving that. There were 35 candies in the bag as opposed to our hypothesis of 30 candies. There were 2 red, 3 yellow, 16 blue, 0 green, 2 brown, and 12 orange. We overestimated the amount of reds, yellows, greens, and browns. We also greatly underestimated the number of blues and oranges.
