After researching, I found two studies that are similar to my experiment. One study by Sean Boyd (2007) tested to see which brand of microwave popcorn yielded the least amount of un-popped kernels. Mr. Boyd tested five brands of butter flavored microwave popcorn: Aldi, Act II, Orville Redenbacher, Jolley Time and Pop-Secret. His experiment proved his hypothesis partially wrong. Mr. Boyd hypothesized that Orville Redenbacher would be the best and Aldi's would be the worst. His experiment proved that Act II produced the least amount of un-popped kernels while Aldi's did have the most un-popped kernels on average. On the other end of the spectrum, Tammie Mason (2011) experimented to see which brand of microwave popcorn yielded the …show more content…
I counted, recorded and discarded any un-popped kernels and discarded any pieces that appeared to be broken off a popped kernel. A plastic spoon was used to carefully sort through the popcorn to minimize breakage. Each brand was counted and recorded on the data sheet. I then took the amount of popped kernels and divided by the total kernels in each bag. After collecting the data from all three bags of each brand, I totaled all the popped kernels and divided by the total kernels overall for each brand which gave me the following results. Data was collected as follows: Brand Un-popped Kernels Popped Kernels Total Kernels per Bag Average "Pop-ability" or Yield per Brand Pop Weaver 39 853 892 95.63% Bag A 20 282 302 Bag B 7 284 291 Bag C 12 287 299 Jolley Time 113 1030 1143 90.11% Bag A 40 348 388 Bag B 44 334 378 Bag C 29 348 377 Orville Redenbacher 85 1163 1248 93.19% Bag A 37 391 428 Bag B 16 388 404 Bag C 32 384 416 Act II 116 1137 1253 90.74% Bag A 42 374 416 Bag B 25 402 427 Bag C 49 361 410 Appropriate Methods: I believe the most appropriate and thorough way to collect the data for this experiment was in the way described in the collection of data. I cooked to each brand according to the directions provided by the manufacturer. By following their directions, that would ensure maximum amount of product.
1. Fill in the table below with the results from the monosaccharide test experiment, and your conclusions based on those results.
Hypothesis: I think Pop Secret is going to pop the best, and leave the least amount of un-popped

Statistical analysis was performed with results as follows: the mean, or average number of candies per bag, was 55.648. The standard deviation, a measure of variance, was 2.8689. This means that the number of candies per bag can vary up to three candies. A histogram, a graph showing how the frequency of the data was distributed, was done to determine the characteristics of the data. The histogram appeared to be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). This means the data was not uniform.
The purpose of this experiment was to test multiple brands of popcorn under the same setting in order to conclude which one statistically popped the most kernels. I tested the butter flavor of Orville Redenbacher, Wal-mart’s Great Value brand, and Pop Weavers. The different bags of popcorn were popped in the same microwave for the same amount of time, 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Then, the popped corn was counted, as well as the un-popped kernels, in order to determine a ratio, and then I recorded the results in the data table. I repeated these steps two more times for a total of 3 trails for each brand. Then I compared the ratios of all the bags to determine which brand yielded the most popped corn. The statistical technique used to evaluate the data was to find a ratio between the number of kernels in the bottom of the bowl and the number of popped kernels. To find this, I divided the number of the actual popped corns by the total number of kernels left in the bottom of the bowl. The ratios and percent were then compared. Once all my results were in the data table, I averaged the 3 trials for each brand of popcorn.
We bought our Skittles from various stores. We then grouped the Skittles by flavor and documented how many of each flavor each individual bag contained. To be proficient we tested twenty of the regular sized Skittles packs and fifty-five of the fun sized packs. This gave us more than enough information to draw an accurate conclusion. To test our hypothesis, we found the P-value of each flavor for both size packs. Based off the P-values, we were able to determine if there is sufficient evidence to support our belief and Wrigley’s

For my experiment I picked 3 different brands of bubble gums. Hubba Bubba gum, Bubble Yum and Bazooka. After chewing each piece of gum for 2 minutes, one at the time, I blow a bubble as big as I could. Then, my partner (my mom) measured and I write down the results. I repeated the same steps 3 times and results was collected in a data chart (see data chart # 1). Then, the average size of the bubble was calculated by adding each result and divided by 3. The average size of the bubble made from Hubba Bubba Gum was 3.8 cm, Bubble Yum was 3.5 cm and Bazooka was 3.3 cm. As a result of my experiment, I found that Hubba Bubba gum makes the biggest bubble (3.8 cm).
2. Four unknown samples were included in the lab kit: flax seed meal, potato starch, egg whites, and dried milk. Using the results of the biochemical testing, determine which number corresponds to the correct unknown. (8 points)
