INTRODUCTION
Edwin Allen High School has over 2000 students who mostly use the Tuck Shop for
lunch services and break time. Lunch and break is one of the most thrilling times at school
where students can go have a little conservation with their friends for a while, but the lunch
time is normally 50 minutes and break time is 20 minutes on an average. In most cases a
school has only one Tuck Shop. Is there enough time to serve all the students before recess is
up?
This SBA will endeavour to come across how long on an average it takes for students
to be served in the Tuck Shop line at the Edwin Allen High School.
There are 1-3 servers in the 5 Tuck Shops working assiduously to ensure all students

consisting of only 11th grade were chosen, due to similarities in subjects. A sample of 22
students 2 from each class were selected to carry out this investigation. The data was
The method of data collection were evaluated to be appropriate due to the fact that the
questions were assembled to gather only the information necessary for the investigation.

than at break, whereby most students took between 6 to 15 minutes to get served at break,

while on the other hand majority of students were served between 1 to 10 minutes and 16 to
DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
From the investigation conducted the results obtained shows the time taken by students to
It was shown that on a daily basis it took 2 students to be served within 1-5 minutes, 8
within 6-10 minutes, 7 within 11-15 minutes and 3 students within 21-25 minutes. On the
other hand it took 4 students to be served within 1-5 minutes and 16-20 minutes, 1 student
within 11-15 minutes, 7 within 6-10 minutes, 4 within 21-25 minutes and 2 within 26-30
minutes.
The data shows that it takes most students within 1-15 minutes to be served during the
break period, while it took more than 15 minutes to be served during the lunch break/period.

ANALYSIS OF DATA
From the data presented, it can be analysed from our results that was shown from the
questionnaires we handed out, which was to determine how long it took students to be served
in the Tuck Shop line during lunch and break time. We have drawn conclusions that it ranges
between 1-25 minutes to be served at break time and 1-30 minutes to be served at lunch time.
12
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that on an average it took more than half of the students lunch time to
be standing in a line waiting to get served while it took up less time to get served during
break time. Students took longer during lunch time to get served than at break time.
