- Part 2. Refer to the Excel file Cereal data set to complete the following tasks. All results and explanations need to be reported within this Word document after each question. Make sure to use complete sentences when explaining your results. Your results should be formatted and edited. Data Set: Cereals The data set shows the name of different brands of cereals, the manufacturers, the total calories, proteins, sugar, fat, potassium, sodium, location of the shelf in the supermarket, etc. The amount of sugar, protein, etc., is measured in grams (g). Exercise 1: A. Construct a frequency distribution and a bar graph for the cereal manufactures (mfr). Include the relative frequencies. Edit and format the graph and include appropriate labels for the horizontal and vertical axes. Describe your findings in the context of the problem (Include which manufacturer produces the most cereals and least number of cereals in the cereal market).
