It is important to accurately estimate the weight of one Eminem candy in a package containing 250 candies. An accurate estimate of the mass of any candy is vital for many purposes. For example, creating nutritional labels for each candies or ensuring the packages have the same mass. A large amount of candy is best to be able to accurately estimate its mass. This method, known as the “sampling method,” is considered a “good practice” in the food industry (Unger, 2017). This involves sampling a small amount of product such as Eminem candy and measuring its mass. Divide the overall sample mass by the number items to get the average mass for each item. The sample size should be “as large as resources allow” (Unger, 2017). It ensures that each sample represents the whole bag of candy. This is how it looks if you measure one Eminem.
