Question

The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14%. Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 57 M&M's.

a) State the random variable.

   

b) List the given numbers with correct symbols.

    = 57

     = 0.14


c) Explain why this is a binomial experiment. Check all that apply.

   

  • There are more than two outcomes for each M&M
  • There are a fixed number of M&Ms, 57
  • Whether or not one randomly selected M&M is brown will not affect whether or not another randomly selected M&M is brown
  • There is not a fixed number of M&Ms
  • There are only two outcomes for each M&M
  • p = 14% remains constant from one randomly selected M&M to another
  • Whether or not one randomly selected M&M is brown will affect whether or not another randomly selected M&M is brown



Find the probability, to 4 decimal places:

 

It is possible when rounded that a probability is 0.0000

d) exactly none are brown.

   

e) exactly 54 are brown.

   

f) at least 50 are brown.

   

g) at most 49 are brown.

   

h) all of them are brown.
