Question

Mars Inc. claims that they produce M&Ms with the following distributions:

Brown	30%	Red	20%	Yellow	20%
Orange	10%	Green	10%	Blue	10%

A bag of M&Ms was randomly selected from the grocery store shelf, and the color counts were:

Brown	25	Red	23	Yellow	21
Orange	13	Green	15	Blue	14

Using the χ² goodness of fit test (α = 0.10) to determine if the proportion of M&Ms is what is claimed. Select the [p-value, Decision to Reject (RH₀) or Failure to Reject (FRH₀)].

a) [p-value = 0.535, FRH₀]

b) [p-value = 0.232, RH₀]

c) [p-value = 0.465, FRH₀]

d) [p-value = 0.465, RH₀]

e) [p-value = 0.535, RH₀]

f) None of the above
