Question

On the following tab entitled, "M&Ms Data" are the weights (in grams) of a simple random sample of 50 M&M plain candies. Please use the data set to obtain the most appropriate responses to the questions below.

1. Determine the shape of the distribution of weights of M&Ms with a frequency histogram.
2. What is the shape of the histogram?
3. Find the descriptive statistics for the data set (hint: use the Data Analysis Toolpak.
4. Which measure of central tendency better describe the weight of a plan M&M?
5. Based on the shape of the histogram, would it be appropriate to use the Empirical Rule to make any general statements aobut the weights of the M&Ms?
6. Use the Empriical Rule to determine the percentage of M&Ms with weights between 0.803 and 0.947 gram.
7. Determine the actual percentage of M&Ms with weights more than 0.911 gram.

Answer 1

Due to the lack of the actual data set provided, it is not possible to determine the shape of the distribution, create a histogram, or perform statistical analysis. Please provide the dataset for a more accurate response.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions posed require access to the specific M&M weights dataset mentioned in the "M&Ms Data" tab. Unfortunately, without the actual data, it is impossible to generate a frequency histogram, determine the shape, or conduct statistical analyses. The Data Analysis Toolpak is suggested for descriptive statistics, but its use is contingent on having the dataset. The questions related to the Empirical Rule and percentage calculations also rely on the actual numerical values. Therefore, the answers are currently unattainable without the dataset.
