Statistics Project – Using GeoGebra

For this project, what you turn in will be a report on your topic. Your report should be typed and should use clear concise not too lengthy. You may present graphs or charts in the body of your report but put your data in an appendix. Be sure to cite any sources you used, including stores for data collection. If you are surveying, describe your sampling method and target population as well as any biases inherent in your sample. There is no required length to the project.

Topic:

Go to a local grocery store and collect these data for at least 50 breakfast cereals: name, grams of sugar per serving, and shelf location (bottom, middle, or top). Group the data by cereal location and use three box plots to compare sugar content by shelf location. Comment on your finding. — –
