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.
