  • Quite a lot.
  • Depends on the bag, obviously. 2 oz microwave bag? 3.5 oz microwave bag? 1 lb bag of plain kernels? 50 lb bag? Microwave popcorn bags have other stuff - oil, salt, butter flavoring, sweetener (kettle style) - that affects the weight, so even knowing the typical weight per kernel you could not calculate the number in a bag of microwave popcorn without knowing what percent was other stuff and whether they use large kernels or small... etc. Or were you thinking of a bag of pre-popped popcorn?
  • 153,458,987.
  • None if they all popped.
  • An amount precisely equal to how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.
  • too many unpoped ones!
  • 8.64 Biting an unpopped kernel of popcorn hurts! As an experiment, a self-confessed connoisseur of cheap popcorn carefully counted 773 kernels and put them in a popper. After popping, the unpopped kernels were counted. There were 86. (a) Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all kernels that would not pop. (b) Check the normality assumption. (c) Try the Very Quick Rule. Does it work well here? Why, or why not? (d) Why might this sample not be typical?
