Evidence for Kisses
This LAP is about quality control inside of a work environment. We were given 50 Hershey kisses to weigh. Surprisingly all of the kisses had different weights but they stayed within a limit. The same can be said for many different parts manufactured in industry. We were then to compile the data from the kisses and create various charts.

Justification
Throughout the whole process of this LAP I learned a lot about excel. I know that this is a vital skill to have when trying to find a job in industry. I also know how it feels know to be someone who punches number into a machine and waits for it to punch out data. I found this to be boring and not my cup of tea. Although I learned a lot and I am happy I know have a much stronger grasp on excel, and I know this will help me in my future. For this reason I have decided to add this to my portfolio.
