Skittlesactivity

This document provides instructions for students to conduct an experiment sorting Skittles by color, recording results in a tally chart and bar graph, then answering questions about probability based on the results. Students are asked to sort Skittles and record the number of each color, identify the most and least common colors, then create a bar graph of the results. They then answer probability questions about which colors they would be most or least likely to choose without looking.
