Final Conclusion

The experiment yeilded results showing that our hypothesis was correct. We came to this conclusion by using our graphs that showed whether or not a student ate breakfast and the resulting grades. We averaged the grades from the days that the student didn't breakfast and compared this percentage number with the averaged grades of the days that the student did eat breakfast. If the average grade was higher on days that the student did eat breakfast, we put it under the "yes" category. If the average grade was higher on the days that the student did not eat breakfast, we put the percent number under the "no" category. Then we tallied up the results and found out that our hypothesis was proven correct! Students did better on tests when they ate breakfast, than when they didn't. 70% of the surveyed students did better while testing on days that they did consume breakfast; while only 30% of the students did better while testing on days when they didn't eat breakfast.

Do you think eating breakfast positively affects a student's performance on tests?
