we return to Bunnyland and Otherland one year later! When we last saw them things had come to a tentative conclusion but substantial challenges remained. Could people from both lands manage to work together to solve their food problem? Would tensions flare? Would the fragile peace get disrupted? Would they be able to grow enough food that nobody went hungry?

You’ll find answers to these questions in the vignettes below. We’ll visit each of our friends and see what they’re doing and you’ll be able to help them with their statistics one last time. Enjoy!

2 The penalty is as detailed in the student manual: “10% of the total marks available for a given assessment task will be deducted for every 10% that the word count exceeds the word limit specified for the task”. So up to 2,199 results in no penalty. Between 2,200 and 2,399 is a 10% deduction, between 2,400 and 2,599 is 20%, and so forth.

Meatballs

The opening up of relations between Bunnyland and Otherland has been great for Gladly. He hadn’t realised how hard he found it as one of the few bears in a land full of bunnies until things changed. He ended up making fast friends with Super Size, who also had struggled with a similar alienation being so large and different. He was still large and different, but with Gladly that didn’t seem to matter, and the two bonded over one of their favourite topics: food.

Now that they were growing so much more food, both Gladly and Super Size’s persistent hunger was assuaged, and the two friends turned their thoughts to how they could share their love of food with others. One day Gladly had an idea: they could start a restaurant! It was ideal for both of them. They could be around friends all day, and make use of all of the fantastic new foods being grown in their land.

Before long, their restaurant was the social hub linking Bunnyland and Otherland. Located on the border, Meatball Cafe was a vibrant place of food, conversation, and laughter. No longer did Gladly wonder what he wanted to do with his life: he knew! And best of all, there were meatballs every day.

Being responsible business owners, Gladly and Super Size kept track of their sales and before long started wondering which day they sell more meatballs: Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. This data can be found in the dm tibble, which has been loaded for you. Each row corresponds to the data from one week. There are three columns:

week: What week it was
day: Can take three possible values: Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for that week meatballs: The number of meatballs sold on that day

Their research question is whether on average the same number of meatballs are sold on each of the three days. Your job in the next few problems is to use your R and statistics knowledge to find the answer to this question.
