Example
A survey of the foods students ate on a regular basis was done to determine the most popular
foods consumed by students. Students were asked what they ate at lunch and for snacks as they
were waiting at the canteen line after it was determined that 60 percent of the students at school
A bought their lunch and snacks from the canteen. Two hundred students were questioned
ranging in ages from 11 to 16 years old – 40 students per year group.

The data from the survey was analyzed. The sugar content per serving was determined by
looking at food labels and an internet search. These were tabulated. The total amount of sugar
students consumed was calculated and represented in a bar chart.

Presentation of Data
Tabulate the results of your survey. Use the data to create a graph or pie chart.
