Bell Work: What is the best way to test a new product? Is your way cost effective?

Awesome Students, yesterday we dabbled with some research with m&ms. Today we are going to collect our data and put them into a spreadsheet program. Your assignments for the rest of this week is in the handout titled "Don't Eat the Data." This project consists of at least five separate pieces:

1. create a spreadsheet in Excel with charts that show the color distribution of the m&ms your team counted on Tuesday.
2. Create and take a survey that asks at least 10 other persons what colors they would want added and/or removed.
3. Create a Personal Business Letter to Mars Company trying to persuade them how they could possibly improve their product by following your suggestions, based on your survey results.
4. Create a 5-10 slide PowerPoint presentation that emphasizes your letter that includes the graphs and survey results.
5. Answer all the questions in the three "Explore Further" sections of the handout (this part is done individually--not as a team.)

This assignment is worth 250 points. You will be graded on thoroughness, neatness, completeness, accuracy, persuasive ability, designs of spreadsheet and PowerPoint, and as individuals as well as a team.
