True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing (two sample t-tests) to determine if the mean amount of filling in Double Stuf Oreos is twice the mean amount of filling in regular Oreos.
