Skittles Report
To begin my experimentation I will call or email the Wriggler Company to ask: how many skittles are put in each bag, which percentage of each color do they put in each bag, and if they have an opinion about the abnormal skittles. This information will be my control group. After that, I will gather bags of original skittles in different size capacities. I will label each bag with a letter; I will also label bowls so I will not get which skittles came from which bags confused. Once I have this ready, I will open the skittles. First, I will pour each bag of skittles into a bowl, then I will record which size the bag is how many skittles came out of the bag, if there are any abnormal skittles how many, and how much of each color are there. After this is completed for each bag, I will find the percentage of …show more content…
I will get a clipboard and make a chart; this chart will have a part to sign your consent for being part of my experimentation. Another part of the chart will contain an area to write your favorite color of skittle. I will take this chart around with me to multiple places. After this is complete and I am happy with the amount of data I have, I will count up how many people said each color and I will make a graph of this information. I will use a bar graph for this information; the x-axis will represent the colors, and the y-axis will represent the number of people who chose each color.
CONCLUSION
If the number of skittles in each bag is off by a few, my first hypothesis will be true. However, if there are many abnormally shaped skittles in each bag, my second hypothesis will be incorrect. Next, if all the bags of skittles have different percentages of skittles, my third hypothesis will be right. If the highest average percentage is yellow, then my fourth hypothesis will be accurate. Lastly, if the most amount of people vote for green apple then my last hypothesis will be

    According to a study on which brands of popcorn yields the most popcorn by Sean Boyd (2010) “The Jolly Time popcorn had the lowest amount of un-popped kernels”. But another researcher Ben Popken (2008) Which popcorn pops the most, said, “ACTII was the winner.” Since there are many experiments with different results of the most popped kernels we will chose just one name brand at the local store and keep the brand name constant for this experiment. The name brand of popcorn is not the independent variable so we will use a random store bought popcorn for this experiment. Both of these experiments are similar to each other. They are testing the hypothesis on which brand name produces the least amount of un-popped kernels. In this current…

This is relevant because most people would like to get the best value out of items they purchased and this may demonstrate one way to do that. I will be freezing multiple bags of popcorn and then popping both frozen and unfrozen bags in the microwave. Finally I will count the popped and unpopped kernels to determine the percentages for both variables and if there is a difference.…

    “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed” (C.G. Jung). The contact I held with Paige, definitely felt like a reaction. However, repeatedly with relations between people, communication contains vast importance. The close friendship failed, when one question about a dance lead to miscommunication. School dances, where alcohol and partying usually ensues, considered the pinnacle of high school. Many consider the excitement of this night not comparable. Societal expectations and our natural belief creates an atmosphere altering decisions based on logical assumptions; enhancing the fear of negative possibilities in life.…
