Jake performed an experiment to find out which type of chocolate melts the fastest, milk chocolate or dark chocolate. He tested the melting, and second, a 15 different randomly selected brands of each type of chocolate in a double boiler set to 90°. What is most likely true about the melting times of these two types of chocolates?

Answer:

Please see attached image for full question

"After 64 seconds, ABOUT HALF of the brands of milk chocolate are LIKELY to melt and NONE of the brands of Dark Chocolate are likely to melt"

Explanation:

The right answer is

"After 64 seconds, ABOUT HALF of the brands of milk chocolate are LIKELY to melt and NONE of the brands of Dark Chocolate are likely to melt"

We can easily check this solution by seeing the time it took for each chocolate to melt in the attached picture.

After 64 seconds have passed, half of the brands of milk chocolate had already melted, but the dark chocolate time starts after 200s
