Soda Case Studies Samples For Students

In this case study, I as a manager of a bottling company should perform statistical analysis of the average amount of soda in the bottles produced by this company. There are thirty observations were pulled and the volume of soda was recorded for each bottle.
Step #1. Calculating the descriptive statistics (mean, median and standard deviation).
This method (descriptive statistics) is used for general review and description of the data. It usually is the initial step in the analysis of quantitative data and the use of other statistical procedures. The features of the sample data can serve as a ...

- Sample mean can be calculated using the following formula:
μ=x=1 Nxi ,
where xi is mass of sample.

The mean is equal

x=130i=130xi=14.87 ounces
In a set of observations, median is a value of variable that have half of the number of observations below it and remaining half above it (Agarval, 43). To set median it is necessary to arrange data in ascending or descending order. As the number of samples is even (N=2p) the average of p-th and (p+1)-th is median. In our case median is equal to 14.8 ounces.

Standard deviation can be calculated as (Bajpai, 129)

σ=i=1Nxi-μ2N=0.541 ounces
σN=0.54130=0.099 ounces

It is possible to find numbers –x and x, between which lies mass of soda with probability 95 % (1-α).

Therefore:
P-x≤X≤ ...

1.What is the case statement? What decisions need to be made?
In 2009, Pepsi had to deal with two problems that affected their sales compared to previous years. The first problem was the decrease of soda consumption in America. The second problem was obesity epidemics. The second factor required product modification in order to help fight obesity in America. PepsiCo had to find a way to attract “millennials” to buy their product on one hand, on the other hand, they had to make their products healthier, and lower in unhealthy ingredients.

I. UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
1. How is acid produced and controlled within the gastrointestinal tract?
The production of acid occurs in the stomach by cells that are therein. The cells found in the stomach produce intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid. There are chemical messengers that help during the activity. They are histamine, gastrin and acetylcholine. Gastrin helps in stimulating the cells to produce secretions when food enters the stomach. An enzyme somatostatin inhibits the secretions when needed. The digestion takes place in three phases; the cephalic phase, gastric phase and the intestinal phase. It is in the ...

The bottling company measured a sample of 30 bottles to test if there is a significant likelihood that a bottle will have less than 16 ounces of liquid in it. The descriptive results of the test indicated that the average of the sample was 15.85, which is lower than the 16 ounce speculation. The median of the 30 bottles was 15.99, indicating that the median is relatively close to the 16 ounce speculation (Table 1). The standard deviation between measurements was .66. There was a 95% confidence interval of a lower limit for ounces of 15.60, however, the upper ...

SECTION I

1. Review the critical external and internal environmental factors that have strategic implications in the future for Pepsi.
The implications indicate that changes in demographic tastes, and the need to improve economies of scale have forced Pepsi into scrambling to recover dominance of market share. This is demonstrated by job cuts, revving up marketing, and China R&D plant. Integration of stevia-sweetened products reflect consumer tastes for less artificial beverages. These changes for Pepsi between 2012 and 2014, give them a better chance to continue its market share – to some degree – given the factor that the diversity of its product ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

Besides, the quality of food is not really good. The fastfood chain’s chief advantage is speed, but even perception of that seems to be deteriorating. People’s taste for food may have also changed, especially with so many migrants around and global influence. Image seems to be another problem. The idea of a kiddie place and a clown might not seem cool to teenagers and people in their 20s. McDonald’s ...

Introduction

Basing on history, in a period of over one hundred years ago, Coke and Pepsi have been competing to have a substantial share of the world’s beverage market. The strongest battle in this market or what is referred to as “the cola wars” was seen in the fight for the seventy four billion U.S dollar CSD industry in the U.S (Yoffie and Kim 1).In a cautiously waged competitive fight that took place in a period starting from the year 1975 up to the middle of the 1990s, Coke as well as Pepsi obtained average annual income growth of about ten percent, ...
