Plain M&M's come in 6 different colors (Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Red, Brown) and are produced at two different plants. M&M's that come from a plant in Tennessee are supposed to have the following distribution of colors: 20.7% Blue; 20.5% Orange; 19.8% Green; 13.5% Yellow; 13.1% Red and 12.4% Brown. Quality control at the plant is concerned the machine is not working correctly and that it is producing a different distribution of colors. They take a random sample of 940 plain M&M's. A Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test is performed. What is the expected count for Blue M&M's based on this sample of n=940 plain M&M's? Enter your answer to two decimal places.
Calculate the value of the chi-square goodness of fit test statistic given the observed counts below. Enter your answer to 3 decimal places. You will need to enter the expected count for Blue from the previous problem; use the value to calculate the contribution to chi-square for the Blue category and total the last column to get the overall test statistic value.
| Color |
Observed Count |
Expected Count |
Contribution to the Chi-Square test statistic = (Observed - Expected)2/Expected |
| Blue | 185 | ||
| Orange | 195 | 192.70 | (195-192.7)2/192.70 = 0.027 |
| Green | 180 | 186.12 | (180-186.12)2/186.12 = 0.201 |
| Yellow | 140 | 126.90 | (140-126.90)2/126.90 = 1.352 |
| Red | 121 | 123.14 | (121-123.14)2/123.14 = 0.037 |
| Brown | 119 | 116.56 | (119-116.56)2/116.56 = 0.051 |
| Total | 940 |

M&M chocolates come in six different colors: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue and brown. A market researcher believes that
the six color proportions are not evenly distributed for the
population of all M&Ms produced. To test this theory, he first
selects his significance level to be 10% and then sets up the
following goodness of fit test null hypothesis: H0: All 6 M&M
color proportions are equal to 1/6 Suppose that the six colors are
evenly distributed for the population...
