How much of each macronutrient they should include in their meals each day
You have been asked to teach a new patient nutrition class. In the first class session, you plan to present information using PowerPoint. As you prepare this presentation, choose your audience and state whether the patients are mothers with young children, adults, or seniors. Then include the following information on your slides:
- The typical nutritional needs for your audience
- Examples of foods they should include in their daily diet
- How much of each macronutrient they should include in their meals each day
- Examples of foods they should avoid or restrict to one or two portions per week
- Consequences of poor nutrition
Requirements
- The presentation should have 5 to 7 slides
- You must use and reference at least one reliable external source
- Include tables or images to support your talking points.
What observations could be obtained from the bar chart?
Based upon your data set, complete the following directly using the Excel file (Include the Excel function used for the calculation so that your work could be traced). Use a new worksheet for each task. Submit your work (in an Excel file) to Canvas.
Task 1 a) Construct a frequency distribution table (including columns “frequency”, “relative
frequency”, and “percent frequency”) to summarize the variable “Branch”, and based upon the frequency table to construct a pie chart for this variable. What observations could be obtained from the pie chart?
b) Construct a single bar chart that shows the number of male and female customers, respectively, at each of the four branches. What observations could be obtained from the bar chart?
c) Construct a histogram for the variable “Income”. Comment on the shape of the histogram.
Task 2 Consider the variable “Income”: a) Find the mean, the median, the range, and the sample standard deviation. b) Compute the first quartile and the third quartile. c) Give the five-number summary. d) Use the IQR rule to determine whether there are any outliers.
** Ensure you are working with the correct dataset (No mark will be given for using a
wrong dataset). ** List out all the names of the members who have participated in this exercise. (All participated students in the same group will receive the same mark)
For those of you who want some assistance in using Excel Demonstration in using the formula and constructing graphs in Excel: [Please note that my version of Excel may be different from yours, and hence, the formulas or the icons presented in this section could be different] An example with sample size 15:
Count the frequency of “gender”: The data to be included are from cell C2 to C16 in the above Excel example: – Count the number of male in the dataset = COUNTIF(C2:C16,”M”) – Count the number of male in the dataset = COUNTIF(C2:C16,”F”)
From that, you can construct the frequency distribution table:
Construct a Pie Chart:
Construct a Bar Chart:
(A combined Bar chart showing the number of male and female at each branch) First, for each branch, count the number of males (M) and females (F) and construct a table so that we could select the frequencies to construct a bar chart.
