Do You Get What you Pay for?

    So the question is if we really get what we pay for when purchasing, in this case a small hot Cheetos bag.  The task was to collect mass information about various bags of chips. Using your data to determine the accuracy and precision of several bags measurements. We first created a table to record the measurements of the product unopened, empty and its difference. In order to avoid any errors and have a dependable experiment, we used more than one bag to compare. We also recorded the net weight written on the bag to compare to our measurements. After weighing the gross and tare weights we could then determine whether or not these measurements were both Precise and Accurate. Accuracy in this case was defined as 28.3 grams +/-. Precision is defined as having a variance less than or equal to .20 grams. In order, bags one through four ranged from 29.2-29.83 grams. So accurately, we're given more than what we paid for since these particular bags net weight did come out to more than whats said to be given. Then to calculate the precision, we subtracted the maximum and minimum which came out to .72 grams. Although these bags accuracy were equal to or more than the bags written net weight, they were not precise. One explanation behind this could be since each individual Cheeto is not identical , it is almost impossible and not likely every bag could be precise.
