PART I:This project is based on numbers of different colored skittles in multiple 2.17 oz bags.

By separating the five different colors, the class came up with cumulative data to represent the
number of colored candies as a whole. I will demonstrate some of the basic statistic procedures
taught in class throughout this project that will be shown through the graphs and work done on
paper. Here is the calculated mean, standard deviation and 5-number summary used from the
total number of candies in each bag from the class sample mean total: 59.1, standard deviation
was 8.43, the five number summary: minimum=27, Q1=58.5, median=61, Q3=62 and

Reflection:The graphs do represent the results that we anticipated from the whole class data.
Some proportions found did seem low, but those may be outliers. The type of histogram the data
created was a skewed distribution. Ultimately, everything did seem to be shown as we had
expected.
In the first section we were making the graphs based on categorical
data. Categorical data consists of names or labels, such as colors.We used a
Pie chart and Pareto chart for this information because it can be categorized
to make sense for the data because we are working with a category.
Quantitative data is what we represented in the second section, quantitative
data consists of numbers representing counts or measurements like the
mean, standard deviation, 5-number summary.We used quantitative data
when making the histogram and box-plot because those types of graphs
make sense for numerical data because we are working with numbers.
