Here is raw data of people served by day put into a bar graph, for viewing convenience.
We determined the total people served, and average amount of people served, by day:
|
Monday Total |
83 |
|
Monday Average |
41.5 |
|
Wednesday Total |
127 |
|
Wednesday Average |
42.3 |
|
Friday Total |
347 |
|
Friday Average |
115.6 |
We decided to combine the data from Mondays with the data from Wednesdays since both of these days were non-Community Eats days. We they are labelled as “Regular Days”.
| Regular Days Total | 210 |
| Regular Days Average | 42 |
| Standard Deviation | 6.74 |
| 1 Person per | 85.7 seconds |
| People per Minute | 0.7 |
| Mode | 49 |
| Median | 40 |
As compared to the Friday data:
| Friday Total | 347 |
| Friday Average | 115.6 |
| Standard Deviation | 12.6 |
| 1 Person per | 31.2 seconds |
| People per Minute | 1.9 |
| Mode | n/a |
| Median | 118 |
Finally, we combined all the data, to see if there were any obvious trends:
| Total | 557 |
| Average | 69.6 |
| Standard Deviation | 39.1 |
| 1 Person per | 51.7 seconds |
| People per Minute | 1.16 |
| Mode | 49 |
| Median | 49 |
Below are bar graphs that represent the averages and totals of people served per day.
On the left we have a graph of average people per day (blue) as compared to total people that came on those days (green). From left to right, the data represent “regular days”, Fridays, and the combination of all the days. We considered Mondays and Wednesdays to be “regular days” since there is no Community Eats event on these days, meaning that the food has a fixed price. The matching total vs. average data graph is the graph on the right in red and blue.
