I'd say that about 1/6 of M&M's, or about 16.66%, are red because the manufacturer makes all of the colors in equal quantities. (There are six colors of M&M's.) However, the percentage of red M&M's in a single bag can vary greatly, because the M&M's in a particular batch are all mixed together before being put into bags by a machine. Therefore, the percentage of red M&M's (or any other color M&M's) in a single bag is determined by random chance.

This is a practical sampling question. Get 9 friends and each of you buy a decent sized bag of M&Ms. Then go through and count how many of each colour. The more bags of M&Ms you sample, the closer you will get to an actual answer to your question. Enjoy! They are tasty.
