Is it lunch time?

Everyone can relate to this assignment. We’re talking food, and lots of it!

You are going to create a histogram of calories from the restaurants you chose in class.

Here are the groups of restaurants, in case you forgot:

1) McDonalds and Burger King

2) Taco Johns and Taco Bell

3)Long John Silvers and Uncle D’s

4)Pizza Hut and Dominos

5)Chick Fil A & KFC

6) Jimmy Johns and Subway

7) Culvers and Wendys

8) Baskin Robbins and Dairy Queen

You need to pick 10 comparable items- if you get pick a hamburger at Culvers, write down the amount of calories of a hamburger at Wendys and Culvers, in separate columns. You need to write down all 15 items and calories at both places on a piece of paper.

You will need to create TWO histograms- one for each restaurant. Find the range of the calories from the first restaurant, then divide the range by how many intervals you want (You must have at least 4). Then create your histogram. You will do the same for the other restaurant.

PUT YOUR HISTOGRAMS ON POSTER PAPER!!!

Finally, I want you to write 3-5 sentences, and compare and contrast the differences. Does it look like one has a lot more calories than the other? Why or Why not?

PUT YOUR SENTENCES ON YOUR POSTER PAPER!!!
