The U.S. Bottled Water Market
A Graphical Analysis
Name: ___________________________________Hour:____________________
The consumption of bottled water has been increasing across the globe. The increase in
bottled water production also leads to the increase in empty plastic water bottle waste.
These plastic bottles are sometimes recycled but more often end up in landfills or as
litter. In this problem you will graphically represent 8 years of U.S. Bottled Water
Market data using scatter graphs, trend and regression lines.

The consumption of bottled water has
been increasing across the globe. The
increase in bottled water production also
leads to the increase in empty plastic
water bottle waste. These plastic bottles
are sometimes recycled but more often
end up in landfills or as litter.
In this problem you will make a graph of
U.S. per capita water consumption over
time on the graph below. Label all axes.
Directions to find a trend line.
1. Plot 11 data points;
is the year # and the
per capita
x- coordinate
y-coordinate is gallons
2. With a ruler draw a trend line that you thinks best
fits the data.
3. From your trend line, select two points that can be
rounded to whole numbers.
(_____,____)
(_____,____)
4. Calculate the slope of the line containing these two
points.

2.
Let’s compare the equation of your trend line to one computed by your
graphing calculator.
First enter the data into two Lists; L1 and L2 (Stat – Lists – Edit). Next go to the
LinReg (Stat – Calc- LinReg) program and record the equation of the line along
with Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (the r value).
LinReg Equation: _________________________________

support your conclusion? Explain.
4.
How well does your trend line equation compare with the calculator
trend line? Are they different? Explain.

7.
Describe the trends over time for domestic sparkling bottled water and
imported bottled water consumption in the U.S. for the years 2000 to 2007.
Both are trending upward over time. Sparkling sales are more steadily increasing. Imports
are up and down.
8.
Based on the sales trends, predict the number bottles of Domestic Sparkling Bottled
Water and Imported Bottled Water that will be consumed in the U.S. in the year 2008?
From my graph I predict that sparkling bottled water sales will be 205 million gallons in
2008 and that imports will increase to 225 million gallons.
9.
In which prediction are you the most confident? Why?
©2010 Beyond Benign – All Rights Reserved.
I am most confident in the domestic sparkling trend prediction. The trend is steady but
erratic for imports.
10.
Use a graphing calculator to find a regression line (LinReg) for each data set.
Domestic Sparkling Bottled Water: S(x) = 8.88x + 126.6
Pearson Correlation Coefficient:
Imported Bottled Water:
r = 0.966
I(x) = 7.68x + 137.3
Pearson Correlation Coefficient:

Find:
r = 0.5683
S(9) = 206.52
I(9) =
206.42
S(9) = 8.88 • (9) + 126.6
I(9) = 7.68(9) + 137.3
12.
What do the values S(9) and I(9) represent?
S(9) Represents predicted sales of Domestic sparkling water in 2008
I(9) Represents predicted sales of Imported bottled water in 2008
13.
Which prediction is more reliable? Why?
I have far more confidence in the projections in 2008 for domestic sparkling
water because the sales trend has been steady over time.

How shape influences packaging
An Efficient Packaging Study
Name: __________________________ Hour:__________
Businesses want product containers that require the least materials and can be
shipped economically. If a container can be devised that requires less material then
resources are conserved and money is saved. Also by packaging the product more
efficiently, so that more can be shipped per truck or boatload, the company saves on
gas and fuel costs.
Challenge: Determine the dimensions of the 1liter container that has the least
surface area.
Assumptions: The container must be 10cm wide and have a volume of 1000ml =1L.
The base can either be a square, an equilateral triangle, a circle, or a hexagon.
Missing information: You need to find the height then the surface area of each object.
1. Square Base:

Conclusions: Which 1L package has the least surface area?
Pack a Pallet
Shipping a product can be very costly. Efficient packing leads to lower
transportation costs. In this section you will explore how to pack the square based
and the spherical shapes into a container that is 120cm by 100cm by 120cm.
Goal: Determine the maximum number of 1-liter containers that can be loaded

How shape influences packaging
an Efficient Packaging Study
Teacher Answer Key
Name: __________________________ Hour:__________
Businesses want product containers that require the least materials and can be
shipped economically. If a container can be devised that requires less material then
resources are conserved and money is saved. Also by packaging the product more
efficiently, so that more can be shipped per truck or boatload, the company saves on
gas and fuel costs.
Challenge: Determine the dimensions of the 1liter container that has the least
surface area.
Assumptions: The container must be 10cm wide and have a volume of 1000ml =1L.
The base can be either a square, an equilateral triangle, a circle, or a hexagon.
Missing information: You need to find the height then the surface area of each object.
1. Square Base:
V = 10 • 10 • h = 1000
H = __10cm___
SA = 600 cm 2_
2. Isosceles Triangle Base:
V = 20 cm
H = ___20 cm______
SA = __782.8 cm 2__

3. Circular Base (cylinder)
V = ∏• 52 • H = 1000
H = 12.7324
SA = __557.08 cm2__
4. Hexagonal Base:
V=
H = __15.40 cm_______
SA = _591.9cm2_
5.
Find the radius of the sphere that has a volume of 1000 ml. r = _6.2 cm__
Find the surface area of this sphere.

Conclusions: Which 1L package has the least surface area?
The sphere requires the least packaging (483.6 cm2) the
cylinder is second needing 557 cm2 of packaging.
Pack a Pallet
Shipping a product can be very costly. Efficient packing leads to lower
transportation costs. In this section you will explore how to pack the square based
and the spherical shapes into a container that is 120cm by 100cm by 120cm.
Goal: Determine the maximum number of 1 liter containers that can be loaded
into one 124cm by 124cm by 250cm container

4.
Which shape is more efficient; the cube or the sphere?
This is a toss up. A cube takes 24% more material to make but is
shipped for nearly half the cost.
5.
Are there other factors that need to be considered? Explain.
Which container is the most economical to manufacture and which
product fits most efficiently on a store shelf.
6.
Assume that the cubic shaped containers are shipped in cases; 24 to a

A Statistical Analysis of Data
Name: ____________________________ Hour:_____
The consumption of bottled water has been increasing across the globe. The
increase in bottled water production also leads to the increase in empty
plastic water bottle waste. These plastic bottles are sometimes recycled but
more often end up in landfills or as litter.
In this problem you will compare and contrast per capita bottled water
consumption data for the top twenty countries in the years 2002 and 2007.

1.
Find the mean and median for each data set.
