3. Answer the following questions: a. Can you figure out an algebraic formula to represent this situation? (use x to represent the number of trials and use y to represent the total number of M&Ms.)
Exponential Decay 4. Gather the data a. Start with a cupful of M&Ms. Shake the cup and pour the M&Ms onto the paper plate b. Count the total number of M&Ms and write that number in the table below for Trial #1. c. Remove all the M&Ms that have the M showing. Record the number of M&Ms remaining for Trial #2. Return the remaining M&Ms to the cup. Shake the cup and pour the M&Ms onto the paper plate d. Repeat step b until the table is filled in. 5. Graph the data and create a scatter plot of Trials (x) and Number (y) Trial # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Number of M&Ms
