Organic Milk Vs. Whole Milk
The pandemic has created a lot of long-term problems since it started in 2020 but there is one problem that continues to stand out. That is the current state of the United States economy and the ways it changed since the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because prices have risen due to how far inflation has gone up. Also, the natural disasters in the west of the U.S. like droughts and
wildfires have affected farms, overall thinning food resources. An effect of these disasters is making big headlines like “Food production costs are estimated to increase 4.1% in 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture” (Helhoski, 2023). This means that essentials like water and groceries have gone up along with high inflation. Does this mean that the price of whole milk (u1) will be less than organic milk (u2)? Since milk is one of the common sources of dairy in the everyday diet along with it being essential, this will be the best to put to the test. This
theory will be tested as so.
Method Of Data Collection
To collect the data that has been found, I investigated different grocery stores in 30 different cities in the U.S. All the cities that were chosen were completely random. This was the best way to avoid bias along with keeping the data within the U.S. because other countries have different economies. To express the data, I’ve chosen the graph below along with the data I used to make the chart. All of this will further answer the hypothesis question of whether whole milk price is less than organic milk prices. Also, the answer will include a .05 level of significance to see if it will be rejected or not along with finding the t-value.
