Question?

How many unpopped kernels are there left out of 300?

Is one brand better?

Does storage temperature matter?

Is there a Difference?

Brands – There isn’t a difference in the number of unpopped kernels based on the brand (p=0.62).

Storage Temperature – There is a difference in the number of unpopped kernels based on the temperature the kernels are stored at (p=0.04). There are fewer unpopped kernels when they are stored at room temperature.

Conclusion

The brand of popcorn you use doesn’t matter

Where you store them does matter
