How are grocery shelf location and sugar content of cereals related? In this task, students visit two grocery stores to compare the amount of sugar in boxes of cereal that are displayed on the top shelf to the amount of sugar in boxes of cereal that are displayed on the second to the bottom shelf. They design and conduct a survey to compare their findings from two stores. In doing so, they encounter sample size, sampling technique, data collection, and
data analysis and reporting. Students compare their data in summary plots using two box and whisker plots. Students create a written report to share and relate findings to marketing decision making.
