Of all sports football accounts for the highest incidence of concussion in the United States due to the large number of athletes participating and the nature of the sport While there is general agreement that concussion incidence can be reduced by making rule changes and teaching proper tackling technique there remains debate as to whether helmet design may also reduce the incidence of concussion Rowson et al 2014 report on a retrospective analysis of head impact data collected between 2005 and 2010 from eight collegiate football teams Concussion rates for players wearing two types of helmets Riddell VSR4 and Riddell Revolution were compared A total of 1 281 444 head impacts were recorded from which 64 concussions were diagnosed The relative risk of sustaining a concussion in a Revolution helmet compared with a VSR4 helmet was 46 1 This study illustrates that differences in the ability to reduce concussion risk exist between helmet models in football Although helmet design may never prevent all concussions from occurring in football evidence illustrates that it can reduce the incidence of this injury Identify the population that is of interest to the researchers O The 1 281 444 head impacts recorded O All head impacts resulting from playing football over a given period of time O The number or percent of concussions suffered through these impacts O The advances in tackling techniques imply that there is variability in how a tackle is performed

Kraft Foods successfully introduced DiGiorno Pizza into the marketplace in 1996 Kraft conducted extensive research about the product and the marketplace before introducing this product to the public Many questions had to be answered before Kraft began production For example why do people eat pizza When do they eat pizza SMI Alcott conducted a research study for Kraft in which they sent out 1000 surveys to pizza lovers The results indicated that people ate pizza during fun social occasions or at home when no one wanted to cook People used frozen pizza mostly for convenience but selected carry out pizza for a variety of other reasons including quality and avoidance of cooking The Loran Marketing Group conducted focus groups for Kraft with women aged 25 to 54 Their findings showed that consumers used frozen pizza for convenience but wanted carry out pizza taste Kraft researchers realized that if they were to launch a successful frozen pizza that could compete with carry out pizza they had to develop a frozen pizza that a had restaurant takeout quality b had the convenience of freezer storage To satisfy these seemingly divergent goals Kraft developed DiGiorno Pizza This impressed focus group members and in a series of blind taste tests conducted by Product Dynamics DiGiorno Pizza beat out all frozen pizzas and finished second overall behind one carry out brand DiGiorno Pizza has continued to grow in sales and market share over the years According to AIB International DiGiorno Pizza was by far the top frozen pizza brand in the U S in 2011 which sales of 677 million when compared to the next brand which had sales of 294 million Instructions Can you think of any descriptive statistics that might have been used by Kraft in their decision making process
