Editing M&M Statistics (section)

== Why This Works ==

''Statistical Probability'' is when you make an educated guess at something based on the number of trials you ran or the sample size you used. As you increase the number of trials, the educated guess will become more and more precise until the changes are minimal, and you have an answer. Likewise, as you increase the sample size, your guess will become more precise until the changes are minimal. In this case, we are trying to figure out the color ratios of the M&M’s in a bag. WE start with a small sample size with a single bag, which gives us a very rough idea on the ratios. By adding a few more bags, we can then get a better idea of what the ratio is supposed to be. The final, large sample size will be much closer to the actual percentages used than the individual sample sizes.
