Do all bags of snakes have the same amount of each flavour? By Gabi, Sasha and Jemma
Introduction Many people wonder how many snakes of each colour are in a packet. We decided to explore further into this topic.
Aim To determine how many of each colour snakes are in a sample of packets.
Hypothesis We think that there would be an uneven amount of each colour of each snakes in each packet. We think that they would take a random sample of snakes for each packet.
Method 1 – Three packets were randomly selected from the supermarket and examined. The colours within the packet were sorted and analysed 2 – The results were tallied and organised into graphs.
Data
Summary In summarising the information we found that not all packets of 18 snakes had the same amount of each colour as each other.
Conclusion In conclusion, with a full belly, we found that each packet of snakes, did not have the same amount of each colour as each other. We infer that when putting snakes into a packet they chose a random sample.
