Fred wants to determine the average amount of sugar and chocolate bars of the same size in the nearest candy store the heat randomly selects 15 chocolate bars at the same size from the store and compares the sugar content of each chocolate bar. Do the 15 chocolate bars from a random sample. Explain why.

Standard milk chocolate M&M's come in six colors. The Fun Size bags typically contain between 16 and 20 candies, so it is common for a Fun Size bag to have some of the six colors missing. Each of the 14 students in a summer statistics class was given a Fun Size bag and asked to count the number of colors present in the bag. The following data are the number of colors found in these 14 bags: Find the mean, median, and mode for these data. Are the values of these summary measures population parameters or sample statistics? Explain why.

One of the authors with too much time on his hands weighed each chocolate candy in a bag of 465 plain chocolate candies. Complete parts (a) through (c). One of the chocolate candies weighed 0.776 gram and it was heavier than 29 of the other chocolate candies. What is the percentile of this particular value? One of the chocolate candies weighed 0.876 gram and it was heavier than 329 of the other chocolate candies. What is the percentile of this particular value? One of the chocolate candies weighed 0.856 gram and it was heavier than 223 of the other chocolate candies. What is the percentile of this particular value?

The following data represent the weights (in grams) of a simple random sample of $50 \mathrm{M} \& \mathrm{M}$ plain candies. $$ \begin{array}{lllllll} \hline 0.87 & 0.88 & 0.82 & 0.90 & 0.90 & 0.84 & 0.84 \\ \hline 0.91 & 0.94 & 0.86 & 0.86 & 0.86 & 0.88 & 0.87 \\ \hline 0.89 & 0.91 & 0.86 & 0.87 & 0.93 & 0.88 & \\ \hline 0.83 & 0.95 & 0.87 & 0.93 & 0.91 & 0.85 & \\ \hline 0.91 & 0.91 & 0.86 & 0.89 & 0.87 & 0.84 & \\ \hline 0.88 & 0.88 & 0.89 & 0.79 & 0.82 & 0.83 & \\ \hline 0.90 & 0.88 & 0.84 & 0.93 & 0.81 & 0.90 & \\ \hline 0.88 & 0.92 & 0.85 & 0.84 & 0.84 & 0.86 & \\ \hline \end{array} $$ Determine the shape of the distribution of weights of M\&Ms by drawing a frequency histogram. Find the mean and median. Which measure of central tendency better describes the weight of a plain M\&M?
