- Using a jar of M&M's, count and list each color of M&M.
- Tabulate the results and compute the total number of M&Ms(this represents the population).
- Using the results, calculate the percentage of each color of M&M inside the jar.
- You are to carefully select a random sample that is representative of the population of M&Ms using various sampling methods such as stratified sampling, cluster sampling, or systematic which this exercise assumes have been discussed in prior lessons.
- Out of the sample you have selected, compute the percentage of each color of M&M(the sample)
- Compare your results to the population of M&Ms in #3 above.
- The sampling error is the difference between your results(sample) and the population(census).
- Compute the sampling error in each scenario by taking the difference between your sample and that of the actual population of M&Ms.
- Repeat this exercise using the different sampling methods and compare your results.
