The activities on this page are drafts taken from a packet of class activities and explorations I am currently writing/compiling. Each activity includes a teacher outline as well as student handout(s).
Many of the activities are modifications of problems/examples/explorations found in the most popular AP Statistics textbooks. Others have been modified from examples submitted to the AP Stats listserv.

In response to your email regarding M&M'S CHOCOLATE CANDIES.
Thank you for your email.
Our color blends were selected by conducting consumer preference tests, which indicate the assortment of colors that pleased the greatest number of people and created the most attractive overall effect.
On average, our mix of colors for M&M'S CHOCOLATE CANDIES is:
M&M'S MILK CHOCOLATE: 24% cyan blue, 20% orange, 16% green, 14% bright yellow, 13% red, 13% brown.
M&M'S PEANUT: 23% cyan blue, 23% orange, 15% green, 15% bright yellow, 12% red, 12% brown.
M&M'S KIDS MINIS: 25% cyan blue, 25% orange, 12% green, 13% bright yellow, 12% red, 13% brown.
M&M'S DARK: 17% cyan blue, 16% orange, 16% green, 17% bright yellow, 17% red, 17% brown.
M&M'S PEANUT BUTTER and ALMOND: 20% cyan blue, 20% orange, 20% green, 20% bright yellow, 10% red, 10% brown.
M&M'S PRETZEL: 28.5% blue, 14.3% each of yellow, orange, green, brown and red.
M&M'S COCONUT: 37.5% white, 37.5% brown and 25% green.
Each large production batch is blended to those ratios and mixed thoroughly. However, since the individual packages are filled by weight on high-speed equipment, and not by count, it is possible to have an unusual color distribution.
Have a great day!
