How similar and different are boxes of
valentine heart candy? Or M&M package?
In this investigation, we will study boxes of valentine heart candy to find out if this product
is predictable. By examining boxes of candy, can you make reliable predictions about an
unopened box of the same brand? Let's find out! Record data for one box of candy and
compare the results with your classmates’ data.
Part I - Box Weight
1. How much does your box weigh in grams? Prediction _____ Actual _____
2. On another piece of paper or using a computer, create a chart or graph of your class
results. Calculate and record the range, mode, median, and mean of the class data.
Range _____ Mode _____ Median _____ Mean _____
3. Predict the weight of an unopened box of candy hearts. _______
4. Explain your prediction using the data you collected.

Part 3 - Color Variations
1. Do all boxes of candy have the same number of each color? Make a tally chart of the
number of candies in your own box and then create a graph of your results.
2. Which type of graph did you choose to create? Why was this type of graph a good
choice? Explain.
