Title: Are the colours of MM’s evenly distributed in a bag of MM’s? Purpose of Project / Aim: Probability is an educated thought or guess to determine if a particular event will occur. Probability is important to assist in making and predicting everyday decisions; the probability that a child will be born with sickle cell disease or the probability that crops will die are all important for the human survival. The use of MM’s is to substitute for the examples listed above to examine probability considering they are used in everyday life and are therefore readily accessible. When individuals consume MM’s, they indentify particular colours and this can be related to probability. Calculating the probability of a particular colour†¦show more content†¦Standard deviation = 10.1 Based on the calculations, the standard deviations observed did not support my theory of the standard deviation being close to zero but it supported the theory that there was not even distribution of MM’s. It was expected that larger data would be closer to zero, however
