Example
Here is an example of the report Download example of the reportI want you to submit. This report is based on data summarizing some health care related statisticsLinks to an external site. for a collection of 46 countries. This example is based on a completely different data set than is assigned. However it gives you an idea of what I would like you to submit.
The Data
This google sheetLinks to an external site. contains data describing nutrition content for 77 cereals. Most of the columns are self explanatory. Sugar, means sugar in one serving of cereal. Here are some that need more explanation.
