Pepsi vs. Coke Project By: Natalie Headrick

Question: Can girls taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi better than boys?

Class Data Table

a. Which Product was A and which was B? Product A was…. Coke Product B was…. Pepsi

b. How many students were able to guess correctly? 15 Students in 2nd Period guessed correctly.

1. Line Graph This graph represents the Total Sales and Revenue based on the last 5 years.

Coke and Pepsi Sales from the Last 5 Years Data Table & Line Graph for Coke and Pepsi Sales from the last 5 years. Type 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Pepsi 43.23 (B) 57.84 (B) 66.5 (B) 65.49 (B) 66.42 (B) Coke 31.07 (B) 35.1 (B) 46.77 (B) 48.07 (B) 46.7 (B) 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.

2. Bar Graph This graph represents the Number of Boys vs. Girls, Taste Test who correctly choose/guessed Product A and Product B.

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.

3.Pie Graphs This graph represents the Percentage of Soda Preferences between the Boys, Girls, and the Class.

h. What soda was least common to drink? Pepsi, Pibb Xtra, and Fanta were the least common drink preferences mentioned.

This Graph Represents the Frequency of Soda drinkers. 4.My Chosen Graph This Graph Represents the Frequency of Soda drinkers.

Data Based on Frequency of soda’s consumed in the class # of Students Never 7 Students Rarely 1 Student 3 times a day Daily 1 a week 2 Students 2 times a week Weekly 3 Students 1 a month Monthly 3 times a month 1 every six months

Bar Graph based on Frequency of soda’s consumed in the class Frequency of Soda Consumed in the class

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.
