Chapter 14, Problem 5CP
Buckeye Creek Amusement Park is open from the beginning of May to the end of October. Buckeye Creek relies heavily on the sale of season passes. The sale of season passes brings in significant revenue prior to the park opening each season, and season pass holders contribute a substantial portion of the food, beverage, and novelty sales in the park. Greg Ross, director of marketing at Buckeye Creek, has been asked to develop a targeted marketing campaign to increase season pass sales.
Greg has data for last season that show the number of season pass holders for each zip code within 50 miles of Buckeye Creek. He has also obtained the total population of each zip code from the U.S. Census bureau website. Greg thinks it may be possible to use

- Healthy Sleep Duration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define a healthy sleep duration to be at least seven hours per day. The CDC reports that the percentage of people who report a healthy sleep duration varies by marital status.
