    The document discusses conducting an M&M activity where students counted the number of blue M&Ms in bags of varying sizes. The percentage of blue M&Ms varied across bags from 9.1% to 33%. A graph was made with bag number on the x-axis and percentage of blue M&Ms on the y-axis. The expected value is represented by a red line and the standard error is shown as green lines indicating the spread around the expected value.

    Visited fivethirtyeight.com and discussed briefly.

    Began M&M activity.

    n=22 m&ms in the bag


    % of blue ones in the bag: 18%, 33%, 22%, 25%, 9.1%
    Sample variability: each bag produces different proportion of m&ms

    When graphing: bag number is x axis and percentage of blue m&ms is y axis.

    Red line: Expected value (center)


    Green lines: standard error (spread)
    tries to estimate how big on average discrepancies from the expected value are

    1. Determine sample size


    2. Determine sample percentage (“p hat”, % sample) 33%
    3. Standard deviation of the sample 33 × 66 (from shortcut method) (proportion of 1s
    [blue m&ms] times proportion of 0s [non-blue m&ms])
    4. Make box model |1 0 0 1…..| billions of tickets, impossible to know true average
    and standard deviation of the box

    Sample:
    ● N=22
    ● %sample: 33%
    ● SDsample: (1-0) 33 × 67

    Sample Variability:
    ● Center of variability (EV%)
    ● Spread of variability (SE%= SDbox/ 𝑛) (replace SDbox with known: SDsample. Get
    10.02)
