Number of Skittles by Color

Based on the findings from my bag of skittles, I would have expected the
class data to fluctuate a little more. For example, if you multiply 7 red candies by
40 bags you get 280 red candies. I guess that with so many bags, they would all
vary by color differently and so end up with more level totals. The overall totals
seem to go against the totals of my bag of skittles because if you look at the totals
for yellow candies, my yellow total is one of the lowest totals yet it is one of the
highest totals in the class totals.
