Data & Statistics - McD's - Part 1 - Christine Hogen-Esch | Library

Every day in the United States, millions of customers eat fast food. 

There are so many different types of numerical data and information that we can gather about fast food, and then make decisions based on the evidence found. 

Take a look at the data below:

1

Write a statistical question that can be answered by the data above

1

Write a non-statistical question about the data above

4

Create a Histogram from the data above.
You can do this on paper, then upload a photo here if that is easier for you.
If you have a tablet, drawing directly in the space should work ok.

Be sure you have all the proper labels in the graph, and have different colors for each bar.

1

Take a look at your histogram.
Which interval does the majority of the sandwiches fall?

1

What is the total number of observations (pieces of data) that we are analyzing here?

1

What is the mean number of fat grams in a sandwich from McDs?

1

Describe the importance of the mean in this situation. What does the mean tell us about McD sandwiches?

1

Create a Dot Plot of the data from the table.

You can use a piece of paper and upload a photo if that is easier.

Uploading photos from digital software is not allowed - you need to know how to do these by hand.

1

What sandwich has the highest amount of fat grams?

1

What sandwich has the least amount of fat grams?

1

What is the range of the data?

1

Explain what the range of the data means in terms of fat grams

1

Are there about the same amount of data on both sides of the mean? Explain.

**Look at your dot plot to discover this. You should have a symmetrical dot plot - if not your dot plot may be skewed)

1

According to the USDA, 30% of your daily calorie intake should come from fat. For a person that consumes 2,000 calories per day, this is 67 grams of fat.

Based on this information, which type of sandwich would you NOT suggest an individual eat - why?
