Concept explainers
Suppose that the owner of the restaurant in Problem 2.91 also wants to study the demand for dessert during the same time period. She decides that in addition to studying whether a dessert was ordered, she will also study the gender of the individual and whether a beef entrée was ordered. Data were collected from 630 customers and organized in the following
- For each of the two contingency tables, construct contingency tables of row percentages, column percentages. and total percentages.
- Which type of (row, column, or total) do you think is most informative for each gender? For beef entrée? Explain.
- What conclusions concerning the pattern of dessert ordering can the restaurant owner reach?

- An Internet Service Provider (ISP) offers three plans, High Speed (H), Medium Speed (M) and Low Speed (L). Each customer has the option of changing plan each month, and using past data they have estimated the proportion of customers who change between plans as follows: 0.16 of those on H change to M, 0.12 change to L. 0.27 of those on M change to H, 0.09 change to L. 0.07 of those on L change to H, 0.27 change to M. All other customers stay on the same plan. (a) Construct a transition matrix A, such that if ck = (Hk, MkLk) describes the state at time k then ck+1 = Ack b sin (a) f 52 ?х (b) If at the moment 40 % of customers are on plan H, 30 % on plan M and 30 % on plan L, then what proportion are expected to be on each plan after 1 month? Enter your answer as proportions (not percentages) in the form H,M,L with each number accurate to 2 decimal places. (c) What are the expected proportions after 6 months? (d) Suppose the ISP buys out a competitor and all of the competitors customers…arrow_forwardA campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed?

It sells two types of tractors in each of four geographic regions. The contingency table below gives a summary of the sales data from this past year that Aragon executives are examining. A total of 500 Aragon tractors were sold during the year. The sales are classified according to two variables: geographic region of the sale ("Great Lakes", "Ohio Valley", "Mid-Atlantic", or "Corn Belt") and type of tractor ("The Incisor" or "The Caddy"). In the cells of the table are written the respective observed frequencies. In addition, three of the cells have blanks beneath the observed frequencies. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, type of tractor and geographic region of the sale, are independent. Round your answers to two or more decimal places.
