3. Introduction
On the 16th of April, we were asked to organize ourselves in the groups of five to six
peoples. We were instructed by our lectures Ms Ann See Peng to choose a topic for our
mathematic project two which make a survey and make statistical analysis which is
compare the ages between aged 18 to 20 and 21 to 23. We had chosen people respond
to Malaysian food for our project two topic. Malaysia is a country wealthy in many
cultural aspects. That’s is mainly because of the diversity of races among the population
such as Malays, Chinese and Indians. Each race had bought their own culture to the mix.
Because of that, many types of cuisine are available. The three main cuisines are Malay,
Chinese and Indian. The food consists of mainly fried food for the Malay and Indian
cuisine, and steamed for the Chinese cuisine. Other various types of cuisine also include
Japanese, Korean, western, Arabian, Italian and so on. Resulting of this, Malaysia is well-
known for its wide diversity of cuisines.

4. Objective
Today our group members which are Tee Hing Nian, Bryan Lum Zi Yang, Lim Kah Wah,
Tan Ree Han and Mok Weng Keong had conducted a Malaysian food survey. The
objective of making this survey is to know about how deeply peoples understand what
Malaysian foods are and the respond toward Malaysian food. Therefore, we also need
to know that the quality of Malaysian food had reached the standard quality amount
the consumers. After that, the objective of this survey is to know that the popularity
amount peoples toward the three races food which is Malay, Chinese or Indian. Finally,
to conclude that would Malaysian foods can thrive in others part of world. Therefore,
the main objective is to compare the respond of aged 18 to 20 and 21 to 23 aged toward
Malaysian food.

5. Methodology
On the 16th of April, our lecture Ms Ann See Peng had launched our project two
which is statistics. Our task is to work as a group to conduct and propose a comparative
analysis of any topics between ages 18 to 23. We had form a five members group which
is Tee Hing Nian, Bryan Lum Zi Yang, Lim Kah Wah, Tan Ree Han and Mok Weng Keong
as our project two members.On the 25th of April, we gather at student life center and
had a short discuss about our project two. We had analysis some topics which are how
peoples respond about watch, do peoples like reading and peoples respond to
Malaysian food. After that, we dismiss our discussion and do some research individual
about the three topics. On the 28th of April, we had concluded what topic we wanted to
do which is peoples respond to Malaysian food. After that, we started to brainstorm the
twenty questions for our survey form. On the 5th of May we started our 100 people’s
survey around taylor’s university which located at block A,B,C,D and E. therefore we also
make the survey at library, boardwalk and student life center. We manage to gather all
the survey form at 9th of May and we started to do the analysis and statistics. We
manage to finish our tabulate of data and the info graphic design board on the 10th of
May. We finish our report and every task at 12th of May.

25. Conclusion
In conclusion, we had successfully finish up our mathematic project two which is a hard
work to us because this is our first time doing survey, analysis data and make statistical
analysis. In this project two we would like to thank to our lecture Ms. Ann See Peng
which guide and motivated us through the end of this project and we also like say thank
you to our parents who support us in term of resources and motivation. Besides that,
we also like to thank the 100 peoples which participant during our survey. After finish
our project two we learnt a lot of thing such as analyses and solve problems that
involves various mathematical principles. Therefore, we also learnt that how to collect,
organize, present and find conclusion for simple statically data. Finally, we had
understood and know how to apply fundamental mathematical principles and statistics.
Good team work that being done by our group and did not have any conflict happen
during the process of project two. In the end, we will accept the result that what we get
from our lecture because we feel that it is a fair marking through all groups. If we get
bad comment we will accept it and make it as a lesson while we get good comment we
keep it as a key of succession because we believe that work, play and learnt is the thing
that we keep on repeating in our life until the end. No matter what happen we will
work as team to face the problem and solve it together.
