The Relation between Fruit Shopping Frequency and Favorite Fruit
This analysis is utterly factual and it utilizes real-time data collected from twenty students. The relation between the number of times per week one buys fruits and their favorite fruit seems interesting. Buying fruit is defined as purchasing fruits in any store that sells fruits including traditional fruit groceries, stop and shop, as well as other convenience stores such as Walmart. However, restaurants, take out stores and other convenience fruit outlets are not considered. Therefore, on the 9th day of this month, I asked twenty students from my class how frequent they buy fruit and what their favorite fruit is and documented their responses on stat-crunch which is a software that analyses data through the web. I set controls on the favorite fruit of the respondents and received the answers: apples, oranges, avocados or blackberries.
In terms of the favorite fruit according to this survey, apples are ranked first since they are the most frequently bought. However, all the fruits earned the biggest number of votes among the choices of fruits in the survey.
Apples, 8, 40%
Oranges, 5, 25%
Avocados, 4, 20%
Blackberries, 3, 15%

Favorite Vegetable n Percentage
Apples 8 40%
Oranges 5 25%
Blackberries 4 20%
Avocado 3 15%

In terms of how frequent people fruit shopped, the results from this survey are summarized as follows.
Fruit Store Trips Frequency Percent of Total
Hardly ever (0-1) 3 15%
Often (2-3) 3 15%
Daily (4-5) 7 35%
Very frequent 7 35%
     
-10795-118364000-10795-52641500
It is evident that there is pretty even distribution from 0 to 7+ in terms of how many times per week the survey was conducted.

The summary statistics on the number of times people buy fruit categorize their favorite fruits and shows some very interesting results.
People who shop frequently (on an average of more than eight times a week) prefer apples. Those who shop less frequently that is on an average one time per month prefer avocados. This makes sense since people who buy avocados do not have to shop as much since avocados can be bought when they are unripe and consumed after as they ripen. This eliminates the need to frequently shop for the fruits that can be stored for some time. The results of this survey, therefore, provide interesting findings on the relation between frequency of buying fruit and fruit preference and thus it would be form a solid framework for conducting an expanded survey and study the patterns in the frequency of fruit shopping and preference
