Purpose- By completing this lab I had hoped to accomplish finding out which gum brand gives you the best flavor. I was testing the price of gum compared to how long the flavor lasted, I thought that the more expensive the gum was the longer the flavor would last because when you buy a more expensive product it tends to be better quality as with shirts, so I thought the same would go for gum flavor.
Hypothesis- I think that if the gum is more expensive than its flavor will last the longest because it should be better quality gum.
Independent Variable — Gum Brand (1 stick of each)
Dependent Variable — How long the flavor lasts (Minutes)
Controlled Group — Flavor, size, weight and the person chewing will all be the same. We will know when a change has happened because only the gum brand will be changeable.
Procedure-
Materials:
1 Pack of Wrigley’s spearmint gum ($.94)
1 Pack of Extra spearmint gum ($.96)
1 Pack of 5 …show more content…
If needed cut each stick so that they are the same weight.
Take the Wrigley gum out first, everyone should put the gum in their mouth at the same time that the timer is started.
When the flavor runs out hit the stop button and record your time.
When everyone is done take the average of the trial.
Repeat for each pack of gum.
Conclusion-
My hypothesis, if the gum is more expensive than the flavor will last longer because the gum is better quality, was supported by how the average length of time a flavor stayed was longer for the most expensive gum and for the least expensive gum was very short. The most expensive gum (5) flavor lasted for an average of 1,439.5 seconds, whereas the cheapest gum (Wrigley’s) flavor only lasted for an average of 213.3 seconds. This supports my hypothesis because it shows that the more money we payed for a
