This Skittles project tepresents a sample of college students in the Math 1040-007, Intra- duction to. Statistics class at Salt Lake Community College, All the students in that class pur- chased a 2.17- ounce bag of Skittles at different locations and at different times. The population would be-all of the students who purchase a 2.17-ourice bag of Skittles because everyone was chosen Lo participate in the sample. In this project, we compiled the data of the colors and amounts of skittles in each 2.17 ounce bag that each student bought. The cumulative number of skittles came out to 1470, The colors represented a categorical data (colors) which corresponds to a quantitative data, oF the number of skittles in each color. The entire data consisted of Yellow (257), Purple (310), Red (319), Green (298) and Orange (286). We needed to create a pie chart, Pareto chart, histogram, and boxplot. We calculated the mean, standard deviation, five number summary.

In the above his- togram and box plat, we see that most of the bags have between 50-70 skittles with ome bag hav- ing in the 96 skittles. You'll see there are no candies between the values of 70 and 90. The outlier of 96 skews our graph to the right. The sample from the classroom number of colors of the can- dies differs from mine, but my total of 61 candies in my bag ends up being the mean of the class's candies per bag. Quantitative and eategotical data are different from one another. One serves mare of nu- merical purpose and is always a number for example how-old are you, how many skittles in a bag, or how many eggs are in a carton. Where categorical or qualitative data is best used forthings that can be eategorized and very numeric for example types of cars, color of the sky, or how soft a cat might be. When graphing quantitative data it works best to use a boxplot, hi togram, or stem-and-leaf plot, Also I would avoid using a pie chart and bar graph because they don't work well with numerical data but they are great for qualitative data.
