Suppose a candy company representative claims that colored candies are mixed such that each large production batch has precisely the following proportions: 10% brown, 10% yellow, 20% red, 10% orange, 30% green, and 20% blue. The colors present in a sample of 459 candies was recorded. Is the representative's claim about the expected proportions of each color refuted by the data?

Color                      Number of Candies
brown                        43
yellow                       106
red                             89
orange                       43
green                        112
blue                            66
