 Where to eat at EXPO 2020
Taste dishes from every corner of the world. Street food, haute cuisine, family friendly meals, sustainable
dining and unique culinary journeys are just a handful of the options.
Grains & Greens (Sustainability
Deli-2-Go (Mobility District) District)
Fresh food and coffee for those on the move! Natural, revitalizing, energy-giving food

KOJAKI (Opportunity
District)
Authentic but not traditional
flavors from Korea and Japan
Feras Hanoun Sweets (Mobility
District)
A taste of finest quality Arabic Sweets
Adrift Burger Bar (Mobility District)
Legendary burgers by Michelin-rated
Koub by Wacup Café chef David Myers
(Sustainability District)
Emirati speciality coffee
Most people that visited the Opportunity District decided to eat at KOJAKI which
joins in the flavors of Korea and Japan. The graph below shows the average minutes it
takes to prepare a meal represented at normally distributed.

What is the average time it

takes per meal?

In what intervals did they

estimate the amount of time?

How many intervals is before

and after the average time?
Normal Distribution
 Most people that visited the Opportunity District decided to eat at KOJAKI which
joins in the flavors of Korea and Japan. The graph below shows the average minutes it
takes to prepare a meal represented at normally distributed.

3. What percentage of the food

takes more than 30 minutes to
prepare? 7. What percentage of the food
takes between 20 to 40 minutes
to prepare?
4. What percentage of the food
takes less than 30 minutes to
prepare?
8. Between how many minutes
does it take to prepare 99.7% of
5. What percentage of the food the food?
takes less than 30 minutes to
prepare?
1. What is the mean of the 9. Between how many minutes
data? does it take to prepare 68% of
6. What percentage of the food the food?
takes between 25 to 35 minutes
2. What is the standard deviation? to prepare?
 Most people that visited the Mobility District decided to eat at Feras Hanoun Sweets
which let us enjoy Arabic cuisines. Create a normal distribution graph that represent the
number of sales per day with an average of 150 meals and a standard deviation of 30.

1. What percentage of the meals

are between 150 and 180 meals?

2. What percentage of the meals

are between 90 and 210 meals?

3. What percentage of the meals

are between 120 and 210 meals?

4. If a group of 700 people visited Feras Hanoun Sweets, about how many would
you expect to have ordered more than 180 meals?
 Standard DeviationWHAT IS THIS?
Standard deviation is a measures the dispersion/spread of a dataset relative to its mean.
IN OTHER WORDS: HOW IS THE DATA SPREAD AROUND THE MEAN?
Think about what we just did in the graph.

Mean = 150
Standard deviation = 30

pronunciation and the Math meaning that each letter
symbolizes.

Find the Greek letters that you use in

the variance and standard deviation
formulas. Practice the pronunciation
and spelling of these letters.

 Let’s travel back to the numbers that were estimated as the number of visitors that
would visit the UAE Pavilion and the Seychelles Pavilion at the EXPO.
What is the dispersion/spread of the numbers around the average amount of people per pavilion?
What does the standard deviation tell me about each pavilion at the EXPO? Make a graph.
