The performance indicators selected are total revenue and revenue per capita. The town provides three reference groups with which to compare Oakdale: Aaa-rated municipalities, comparison municipalities, and the state median. Since local government budgeting in this state is driven by the property tax levy cap, this is a key variable in comparing municipalities.

3. Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(-28, +2s) and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurements. at least 75% 100% 68% 95%
