Introduction
 For this activity, we have to analyze the weight of a product, and compare it to
what they are actually selling us. This is to enforce our knowledge about the normal
distribution and the hypothesis test.
The experiment requires to gather at least 30 samples of a product and test,
in this case, their actual weight, versus what the product actually weights. For this,
the package of the product must be removed so that it does not infer with the weight
of the product.

The objective of the activity is to put in practice what we have learned during our
second partial in the class of Mr. Ziad. The
concepts we will apply are:
- Normal distribution
- Hypothesis test
-Null Hypothesis- Ho: =, ,
-Alternative Hypothesis- , <,>
- Proportions, means and standard
deviation.
- Region of acceptance and rejection.
- Confidence level
- Significance level
- Critical value
- T-test

The product we chose was MAMUTS because they come in packages of 1 and we
could test 1 by one without wasting as much food. Mamuts consist of 2 cookies with
marshmallows in the middle and chocolate covering the whole thing, this product is
of the GAMESA family. We bought 4 packages of 8 mamuts individually packed to
start
our

project.

Conclusion

Every mamut may vary but very slightly in weight. The companys packaging
information regarding the Mamut's weight is correct because the average of the
samples we tested was 30.0344 and the packaging of the product says each
individual mamut weights 30 grams. They may have rounded down a few decimals
but may still count as 30g. Though, the result does affect consumers because our
sample of 30 mamuts varied from 28.232 to 32.374. It might not affect the consumer
gravely but they are still expecting a certain amount of product, calories, etc and they
are given a slightly different amount of those. Maybe it wont affect as much but in an
extreme example that a person eats 1,400 mamuts, the exactitude of how much
product they would have consumed would not be certain.
But, in small scale, a difference of grams does not matter to most. So we conclude
that GAMESA does not lie when they say their mamuts weight 30g.
