Final answer:
While the open bag policy must be verified with business management, the question appears to relate to a statistical experiment involving a candy survey comparing package contents of multicolored chocolates and peanut butter candies.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Any open bag of candy must be given to the manager' is not a factual statement that can be deemed universally true or false, as it depends on the specific policies of the place of business. However, the rest of your question pertains to a statistical experiment involving candy survey and comparing the mean number of candy pieces per package of different brands.
To conduct this experiment, you would need to weigh the contents of the individual packages and count the number of pieces of candy in each package. Then, you could use statistical methods such as a t-test to compare the mean number of pieces between the two brands to see if there is a significant difference.
With regard to the weights provided, 396.9 g is the claimed net weight for the large bags of multicolored candies, and the standard deviation of 0.017 g refers to the weight variation among the individual candies, not the packages themselves. This data might be used as part of quality control or to ensure consistency across packages.
