    The student conducted an experiment counting the number of each color Skittle in a bag they purchased. Their results mostly matched the class results, with red, yellow, and green being the most abundant colors. However, the student's bag contained 64 Skittles total, more than two standard deviations above the class mean of 59.8 Skittles per bag. The unusually high number of Skittles makes the student's bag special compared to the rest of the class.

    Individual Portion of Skittles Project
    The Graphs do indeed reflect what I expected to see; mostly even distribution of all colors. Of
    course there is one color there is the most of and one color there is the least of. My data
    compared to the data of the whole class matches up pretty well for the most part. For example; in
    the bag that I bought, the Red, Yellow, and Green skittles were the most abundant and those same
    colors were the most abundant for the whole class as well. One thing that does not match up is
    the total number of candies in my bag compared to the Mean of the class. The Mean of the class
    is 59.8 and the Standard Deviation is 1.83. I had a total of 64 candies, a total of more than two
    standard deviations away from the mean. My bag is special because it came with an usually high
    number of Skittles compared to that of the class as a whole.
