Project 3: Statistics
For this project, I compared the sugar content of equal serving sizes of various breakfast cereals. Since serving sizes varied from brand to brand, the results were computed based on a serving size equal to 50 grams. The sugar content per 50 gram serving size was computed by using the following formula:
50 grams = Serving size to be compared
(50 x Sugar per serving) / Serving Size
Example: (50 * 1) / 30 = 1.67g of sugar per 50.00g serving
A histogram was created using a bar chart to display the sugar content per 50 gram serving size of the various cereals. The raw data (sugar content and serving size) was obtain from the nutritional content label located on the side of each box of cereal.
Data Set: 1.6 5.7 6.03 7.5 16.13 18.73 22.58 23.44 27.78
Mode: Since each value occurs only once in the data set, there is no mode for this set of data.
Median: The median is 16.13 grams of sugar per serving.
Mean: 14.33 grams of fat per serving
Range: 1.6 5.7 6.03 7.5 16.13 18.73 22.58 23.44 27.78
