 Title:
Are the colours in Charles cheers evenly distributed?

 INTRODUCTION

Cheers are the popular coloured candy made by Charles. Charles claims that the colors (or flavors) of
cheers are evenly distributed. Therefore, given there are 5 different flavors, about 20% of each color
should be in one bag. The researcher aims to put this claim to the test. To carry out this research 4 pack of
the same size cheers will be bought to determine whether if it is true are false.

 METHOD OF INVESTIGATION

To collect data for this research, the researcher followed through with the following steps:

 The researcher went about and bought 3 bag of Charles cheers that were the same size
 The researcher distributed the cheers to formulate a conclusion using a mathematical operation
consumer arithmetic
Orange – white – red – yellow – purple = distribution of cheers
Orange + white + red + yellow + purple = total amount of cheers

 The information was recorded in a table

 ANAYSIS OF DATA

The number of cheers that were distributed was 50. 12% were red, 15% were yellow, 6% were purple, 8%
were orange and 9% white. Each bag of cheers consisted of different amount. One pack were composed
of 18, the next one was 15, while the other one was 17. A comparison was made showing on a pie chart
which highlighted that yellow is the most frequent cheers in the pack, then red, orange, white and the least
one that occurred was purple.

 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS

The investigation gave significant information about the distributed cheers.

 Yellow occurred more frequently than the other colors

 Each bag of cheers consisted different amount of cheers

9
 CONCLUSION

It has been proven that cheers are not evenly distributed in a pack.
