My original thoughts on
what the data from this
project would show is
generally equal amounts
of skittles in each color

can see from the charts
this was generally the
case but there was slight
variance in the amounts
with the lowest being
orange skittles at 173
and the highest being
yellow at 191. This data

sample of the skittle
bags in the world so we
cant be positive this
gives an accurate
statistic. On the other
hand, the results showed
the given skittles in my

with the skittle colors are categorical (qualitative) since the colors
are categories and not numbers representing amounts or
measurements. Then the amounts of skittles in each bag is the
quantitative data in this project since we are using numerical data

Interpretation: We are
95% confident that the
limits of 59.03 and 61.57
actually do contain the
value of the population
mean.
