Statistics Introduction The purpose of our research question was to see if people could tell the difference between a low fat cake and a traditional (by the back of the box) cake. The low fat cake consisted of applesauce instead of oil in the traditional cake. The low fat cake was placed into pink cupcake wrappers and the traditional cake into blue cupcake wrappers. When we gathered our data we gave each subject one pink cupcake and one blue cupcake and then we asked them to record their choice on a piece of paper. The data was gathered at three different times; once during class, once in the atrium at Valencia Community College and the third time at Jackie’s work in Solivita. The obesity rate in the United States has dramatically increased over the past decade. Our concern is that children that eat sweets need to have something that is not as fatting as cake with a half a cup of oil. Applesauce is a great form of nutrition will at the same time reducing the percentage of saturated fats and trans fatty acids, it also reduces the chances of common heart diseases and /or heart attacks.
