Data Analysis
You will notice from the Points Per Person by Week (PpPbW) chart that our group has achieved two firsts in the competition: we had the highest Points per Person per Week score of any second week AND we increased our points per person score from week one to week two (just barely but it was an increase). When examining the data more closely it reveals the increased commitment the group had to exercise in week two. In week one 78 of our total of 114 points were from exercise; in week two 92 of our total of 115 points were from exercise; that's almost an extra day of exercise for each person in the group.

The second chart included highlights the groups second accomplishment (increasing points per person from week one to week two). The data in this chart represents the percentage change from week to week of the groups points per person score. You will notice in all previous competitions there was a decrease from week one to week two with the exception of this competition. Great job and keep up the focus on exercise in week three.
