Solution
Set up null and alternate hypotheses as
H0: All colours are equally preferred
Ha:Atleast two colours are equally likely
Two tailed chi square test
Prepare contingency table
df = 5
p value = 0.3102
As p > 0.05 accept null hypothesis
There is no statistical evidence to prove that a greater proportion of blue M&Ms is in a milk chocolate bag than in a peanut bag
