Filling in the frequency table according to the colors observed and expected on the M & M Peanut candies is as follows:

Frequency Table:

Color                              Brown    Yellow     Red      Green     Orange    Total

Absolute Frequencies

Observed Frequency     67           22           51           24           24         188

Expected Frequency     56           38           38           38            18         188    

Relative Frequencies:

Observed Frequency   36%         12%       27%         13%          13%

Expected Frequency    30%        20%      20%        20%          10%

What is a frequency table?

A frequency table is a display of the number of occurrences of a particular value or characteristic.

A frequency table makes it easy to display and interpret a distribution of data.

The absolute frequencies shows the absolute values of the observed and expected frequencies, while the relative frequencies shows the percentage values of the observed and expected frequencies.

Data and Calculations:

Color                              Brown    Yellow     Red      Green     Orange    Total

Observed Frequency     67           22           51           24           24         188

Expected Frequency     30%        20%       20%        20%         10%      100%
