The M&M's website says that 24% of milk chocolate M&M's are blue. Suppose that we buy 5 small packets of milk chocolate M&M's. Each packet contains 55 candies. Which sequence is the most likely for the percent of blue M&M's in these 5 packets?

Group of answer choices:

O 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%

O 20%, 24%, 31%, 27%, 36%

O 6%, 24%, 42%, 9%, 44%

O Any of the other lists because the samples are random.

Camren Nielsen · Answer 1

The correct option is A: 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the overall probability of M&M's produced is stated as 24% and the packets are filled with different colored candies at random, the probability of blue colored candies in each packet cannot be ascertained individually.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
