Breakfast Questionnaire Analysis

This document analyzes a statistical study of breakfast habits among 65 students at a high school (Bachillerato). It asks several questions: 1) Identify the population, sample, and parameter being studied. 2) Calculate the percentage of students who selected various drink options for breakfast and determine the level of measurement. 3) Identify the most popular food response, calculate the percentage of students who selected it, estimate how many total students would select it, and determine which is an inferential statistic. 4) Create a histogram to visualize calorie intake data and add plots showing mean, median and mode intake, commenting on differences between the measures.
