This project asks you to collect and analyze your own data, or use the above example below, to investigate a difference in means. You must use a statistical software package (Statkey for example) to perform the analysis and you should incorporate output from the package to verify your answers. All results should include both computer output and a discussion of the results in your own words. You should submit a well-written report addressing each of the following parts.

I am comparing the different types of cereal and how much sodium is present in each.

Part 2 Describe clearly how you collect your data. Remember Chapter 1! Devise a way to efficiently collect data in a way that will be relatively unbiased. After you have described your sampling method, discuss any ways that your sampling method may bias the results. (Note: If collecting your own data is not feasible, perhaps you could sample your statistics class.)
