8. According to Mars, the makers of M&Ms, their factory produces 25% blue, 25% orange, and
12.5% for each of the remaining colors. How do the observed values based on the entire class
compare these?
9. What are some of the reasons why our bags would differ from the expected distribution?
10. Why would Mars not put equal amounts of each color in every bag?
