Textbook Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 27E
The Chamber of Commerce in a Canadian city has conducted an evaluation of 300 restaurants in its metropolitan area. Each restaurant received a rating on a 3-point scale typical meal price (1 least expensive to 3 most expensive) and quality (1 lowest quality to 3 greatest quality). A crosstabulation of the rating data is shown. Forty-two of the restaurants received a rating of 1 on quality and 1 on meal price, 39 of the restaurants received a rating of 1 on quality and 2 on meal price, and so on. Forty-eight of the restaurants received the highest rating of 3 on both quality and meal price
- Develop a bivariate
probability distribution for quality and meal price of a randomly selected restaurant in this Canadian city. Let - Compute the
expected value and variance for quality rating, x. - Compute the expected value and variance for meal price, y.
- The
covariance of x and y. What can you say about the relationship between quality and meal price? Is this what you would expect? - Compute the
correlation coefficient between quality and meal price? What is the strength of the relationship? Do you suppose it is likely to find a low-cost restaurant in this city that is also high quality? Why or why not?
