Question
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides ratings on all tire lines
marketed in the USA. Using their Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS), tires are evaluated in
terms of their tread ware, traction performance and temperature resistance.
The dataset to be analyzed includes all tires manufactured by the Korean tire giant Hankook. There
are 7 variables: Tire Line, Construction, Size, Traction Rating, Temp Rating, Wear Rating and Speed
Rating. This assignment will only be analyzing the variable Traction Rating. Traction ratings are an
indication of a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher rated tire should allow a car to stop on
wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower rating. Traction is rated from highest to lowest
as "AA", "A", "B", and "C".

Using the data provided, answer the following questions and perform the following analysis.
1) What are the experimental units in this dataset?
2) How many experimental units are in the dataset?
3) What type of variable is Traction Rating? (i.e. is it Qualitative-Nominal, Quantitative-Discrete,
etc.).
4) Construct a one-way contingency table for the variable Traction Rating. Include both the
frequencies and relative frequencies for the categories. Do not forget to include a column for
the Totals.
5) Display the relative frequencies from part 4 in a bar chart. Be sure to properly label the figure
and include all pertinent information.
6) Would you say Hankook tends to construct quality tires, or cheap ones? Provide a data driven
justification for your conclusion.
