There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a

difference in the number of green M&M’s and red
M&M’s in each bag of 1.69oz plain M&M’s.
 Sample 2
TAKE ACTION
• We believe that there should be as many, if not more, red M&M’s than
green ones.
• Start a petition and request that M&M’s put more red M&M’s in each bag.
• Begs the question if all the other colors are as unevenly proportioned?
• Another study to determine each color in proportion to the total amount of
M&M’s per bag.
• Research what the general population prefers for colors of M&M’s.
• The two studies should work together to meet the preferences of
customers who buy M&M’s.
