Comparing Grocery Prices Consumer groups often analyze store prices and compare the price of similar items in different stores. They share this information with other consumers or customers. Imagine that a consumer group suspects that there is a difference in prices between two grocery stores (Store A and Store B). To investigate, the consumer group identifies the prices of six identical items at Stores A and B. Since prices change over time, the consumer group gathers all data on a...
