In the Bakery

Abstract

Three cases that focus on a bakery are presented. These cases are ideal for use in a statistics class to assess how well students have mastered descriptive statistics, probability distributions, and statistical inference. Case 1 focuses on descriptive statistics including tables, graphs, numerical measures, grouped data, and covariance and correlation. Case 2 focuses on the binomial, the Poisson, and the normal probability distributions. Finally, Case 3 focuses on confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. A solution for each case is provided. he following three cases focus on a bakery. The first case deals with descriptive statistics where students are asked to create different types of tables and graphs, calculate numerical measures for grouped and ungrouped data, discuss the type of relationship between two variables, and to provide observations and recommendations. The second case focuses on the binomial, the Poisson, and normal probability distributions. Finally, the third case focuses on statistical inference where students are asked to construct confidence intervals, run different types of hypothesis tests, and to provide observations and recommendations.
