9. Interpretations
• The variance for the distribution of women’s
water bottle use is greater then the variance
for the distribution of men’s water bottle use.
• Women average a greater amount of daily
usage of water bottles.
• An outliers will askew the collected data, as
our data did not have an outlier, we can
assume the amounts are more reliable.

10. Interpretations Continued
• The recommended amount of water to be consumed
daily is eight glasses of water. With a daily mean of
water bottles consumed for both men and women less
then two bottles a day. Our data implies people are
consuming less then the recommended amount.
• The females water drinking habits has a pronounced
tail while the males water drinking habits is closer to
the normal distribution

11. Recommendations
• Since the majority women reported she used at least one water
bottle per day there should be sufficient recycling bins in place on
NSCC’s campus.
• As well as discounted and re-usable water bottles for NSCC’s
student body to purchase at the bookstore and cafeteria.
• NSCC should offer informational sessions for the student body to be
informed of the environmental effects plastic water bottles and
ways to be more resourceful and green while consuming water.
• As water fountains tend to be cold and less inviting making other
sources of water consumption more attractive.
