WRITE A PARAGRAPH DISCUSSING YOUR OBSERVATIONS OF THIS DATA.

RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS:
1. DO THE GRAPHS REFLECT WHAT YOU EXPECTED TO SEE? ARE THERE ANY
SURPRISES ?
2. ARE THERE ANY OBSERVATIONS THAT APPEAR TO BE OUTLIERS? IF SO, WHAT
IMPACT MIGHT THEY HAVE ON GRAPHICS AND SUMMARY STATISTICS?
3. DOES THE DISTRIBUTION OF COLORS IN THE TOTAL CLASS DATA MATCH THE
DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR OWN DATA FROM YOUR SINGLE BAG OF CANDIES OR
ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

Yes, I noticed that on average my bag of skittles had approximately 12 skittles of each color.
I originally thought the number of students enrolled in our class was 57, turns out it is 94,
multiply 94 by 12 gives you 1,128 skittles on average of each color. Which is pretty darn close,
and was the only surprise to me. Yellow skittles seem to run a little more on the abundant side, a
bigger margin off the average than say the green skittles. The only impact I understand it may
have on graphic it the Pareto chart will have a less uniform slant, the yellow in the first position
and the green in the last. Oops, cool, I kind of already answered the distribution question at
the beginning of this paragraph. Also wanted to say thanks for a valid reason to buy a treat
without feeling guilty!
