DISCUSSION

The document discusses using a chi-square test to evaluate the null hypothesis that variations between measured and predicted values of M&M colors are due to chance. The chi-square value for the class data was close to the expected value, supporting the null hypothesis.

DISCUSSION

The experiment’s aim was to evaluate the null hypothesis. The goal of the inquiry was to
evaluate the null hypothesis by determining if variations between the measured observations
(the number of each colour from the M&M package) and the predicted measurements (the
company's claims) are the result of chance or another factor. The M&Ms was counted and
sorted by colour with subsequent calculations yielding a Chi-Square value of 16.78 for the
group data. The data was accepted because with 5 degrees of freedom and a range less
than 0.005 probability, the class data was found to be remarkably near to the projected
value. It can be assumed that the difference between the observed and expected outcomes
was solely a result of chance because this number is closer to the projected value. The null
hypothesis proved correct after considering the class data, where the Chi-Square value was
16.78. Because the class provided a more accurate portrayal of the entire experiment by
including information from several groups, it was decided to depend on class data rather
than individual group data.

A test to determine how well a model matches real observed data is called a chi-square
statistic. To compute a Chi-Square statistic, one needs random, unprocessed, mutually
exclusive data that is derived from independent variables and is gathered from a sufficiently
big sample. Therefore, from this experiment, the class Chi-Square value is still close to the
expected value despite being slightly higher than expected and not only that there will be
less chance that outside influences will bring an impact to the experiment. In other words,
despite the minor deflection in the class Chi-Square value, the discussion emphasizes the
main role of it in the dependability of the experiment. It highlights how important Chi-Squares
are too many scientific domains, demonstrating how it can be used to confirm experimental
results and guarantee the accuracy of findings by the scientist that can draw meaningful
conclusions from the empirical data.
