Coke and Pepsi Sales from the Last 5 Years
*Measured in Billions*
i. Trend statement for total sales of
Pepsi products in the last 5 years.
 As you can see over the last 5 years Pepsi Co. has been
quiet profitable. They have generally stayed with in the
same range of revenue and total sales.
j. Trend statement for total sales of
Coke products in the last 5 years.
 As you can see in the last 5 years Coco Cola Co. has not
been consistent. Even though they have not had the
profitable out come like Pepsi, they are maintain a
consistent revenue and total sales income.
k. Prediction of average sales of
Coke and Pepsi in the year 2017.
 By 2017 I think that coke will have gradually increased
from where they are now, but Pepsi however I believe
will have gained a few more billions. Seeing as how they
have jumped a few billions in the last 5 years. I think
Pepsi is a growing product that everyone seems to enjoy.

c. Does gender affect how you
taste?

Based on the data and information collected from our class, I
don’t believe that gender can determine the way you taste
things.

There were a total of 21 people in our class. 7 females and 14
males.

If you look at the data table on the previous slides you would
notice that 4 out of 7 girls and 11 out of 14 boys guessed
correctly. The difference between the two groups was three
people.

Seeing as how they had the same number of people for a
difference I am making the conclusion that your gender does not
affect the way something is tasted.
d. Comparing the data from all the
classes to the taste test.
 Based on the data shown I still am sticking with my earlier
statement.
 The only reason that some of the bars for males are higher
than the females, are in two of the five classes they contain
more males than females.
 Therefore there bar will be higher if they guessed correctly
because there is more males than there are females.
 By looking at the other classes you will notice that the bars
tend to be the same height even if one is slightly higher.

l. Explanation for Frequency of
Soda Drinkers graph.
 Results from the graph differ from person to person.
Some people had a soda more frequent than others, and
some never had a drink at all.
m. Results from Frequency of
Soda Drinkers graph.
 Most people in the class never drank sodas, where 2-3
would drink them two times a week or weekly. This
graphs shows that people have different frequencies
when they have a soda, like 1 every six months, or daily
or even three in a day, we are all different.
