SMARTIES

Results:
Mass of empty container: 36.595g Mass of 1 smartie: 0.293g Mass of container + all smarties: 297.148g Actual number of smarties: 894 smarties

Data Analysis:
Guess: (mass of container mass of empty container)/mass of 1 smartie = (mass of all smarties)/mass of 1 smartie = 889 smarties Percent Error: % ERROR = [Your Result Actual Value] x 100 = [889-894] x 100 Actual Value 894 = 0.55928412 0.559%

Conclusion:
Using the method of determining the mass of the total smarties in the container and dividing it by the mass of one individual smartie, a guess of 889 smarties was made. After counting one by one, it was determined that there are 894 smarties in the container. With only a 0.559% error, the results and method used in this experiment are highly reliable.
