Creating Users in AD DS using Power Shell

PS C:\Users\Administrator> $objOU=[ADSI]("LDAP://OU=Peopel,DC=contoso,DC=com")

PS C:\Users\Administrator> $objUser=$objOU.Create("User","CN=Mary North")

The following exception occurred while retrieving member "Create": "There is no such object on the server.

"

At line:1 char:10

+ $objUser= <<<< $objOU.Create("User","CN=Mary North")

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], ExtendedTypeSystemException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CatchFromBaseGetMember

I guess the question is what am i doing wrong? I know that is vague but i don't know how else to ask it. You can view the full text that i need to enter below in order to complete my assignment. Thanks for any help in advance.

$objOU=[ADSI]("LDAP://OU=Peopel,DC=contoso,DC=com")

$objUser=$objOU.Create("User","CN=Mary North")

$objUser.Put("sAMAccountName","mary.north")

$objUser.SetInfo()

So the second link in shaiksaj's answer was a link to the question i posted in technet and apparently i did not know how to spell people correct and there for the error. The script chris merit works well and because everything is spelled correctly did return any errors. Any way thanks for the help.
