Solution Summary

The solution examines one sample hypothesis testing for M&M experiments.

Solution Preview

Since our total number of M&Ms is 342, we want to assume that the average in each group is 57. Therefore, we can test to see if there is any difference between the number of red M&Ms and the supposed average of 57

Ho: The number of red m&ms is 57 (x=57)
Ha: The number of red m&ms is more then 57 (x> 57)

I do believe that in this case, we should use a one sample t-test to find out if red is different then the average.
The formula would be:

the sample mean - population mean ...
