Conclusion

Looking at our total data, we accept the null hypothesis and agree that the statistics released from the m&m company is accurate. We say this because, as a class, our chi square value is 4.5, which is far below the limit of 11.07. This makes us accept that the information is accurate. Some individual students (like myself) may have received different results for their own results. This may be due to the random concentration of different colours, as the dispersion of colours in the bag is not necessarily even. This causes some students to have a possibly inaccurate amount of, say, yellow m&ms, which affects the total chi square amount. As a class, however, the results should be uniform when averaged together, and this resulted in the acceptance of the null hypothesis.
