you will be playing the role of a data analyst for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Below is a description of the data set you have been provided with and the specific tasks the FDA needs you to complete. Cereal Data Set Description This data set contains certain information about 74 of the cereals available for purchase throughout the United States. Each row of the data set contains the name of the cereal, the manufacturer, the values for calories, protein, sodium, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and sugar per serving, and finally the consumer rating. Tasks 1. Write a brief summary that describes the center, shape and spread (variability) of the Sodium (mg) variable. Include a graphical display (boxplot or histogram). 2. Using the 1.5 IQR Criterion, assess whether the Fiber (g) variable has any outliers. Provide support showing how you arrived at you lower and upper thresholds. If any are present in the data, provide the name of the cereal(s). 3. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of Sugar (g) in one serving of cereals available for purchase in the United States. Provide the form, setup and values for the lower and upper bounds. Also provide an interpretation for the interval you arrived at. 4. Using a = 0.02, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test to determine if a difference exists in the Rating for cereals manufactured by General Mills and Kelloggs. Provide the hypotheses, critical value(s), support for the test statistic and p-value, and your decision with justification. 5. Briefly explain what, if anything, would change if you were told to use a = 0.01 instead of a = 0.02 in the above hypothesis test.
