Imagine taking an SRS of $50$ $M\&M’S$. Make a graph showing a possible distribution of the sample data. Give the value of the appropriate statistic for this sample. 

Step-by-Step Solution

The test statistic is $0.22$.

Step 1: Given Information

The percentages of milk, blue, orange, green, yellow, red and brown are$24\%, 20\%,16\%, 14\%, 13\% and13\%$ candies in $M\&M\text{'}s$ milk chocolate.

Number of candies are $50$.

Step 2: Explanation

Orange candies are the parameter of interest.

The appropriate test statistic's value for the given sample can be determined as follows:
