A food truck did a daily survey of customers to find their food preferences. The data is partially entered in the frequency table. Complete the table to analyze the data and answer the questions:

Likes hamburgers Does not like hamburgers Total
Likes burritos 29 41
Does not like burritos 54 135
Total 110 205
Part A: What percentage of the survey respondents do not like both hamburgers and burritos? (2 points)

Part B: What is the marginal relative frequency of all customers that like hamburgers? (3 points)

Part C: Use the conditional relative frequencies to determine which data point has strongest association of its two factors. Use complete sentences to explain your answer. (5 points)

Answer 1

Part A: What percentage of the survey respondents do not like both hamburgers and burritos? (2 points)

25.6%. 54 out of 205 respondents do not like both hamburgers and burritos. 54/205 = 0.256 or 25.6%.

Part B: What is the marginal relative frequency of all customers that like hamburgers? (3 points)

50.2%. 110 out of 205 respondents like hamburgers. 110/205 = 0.502 or 50.2%.

Part C: Use the conditional relative frequencies to determine which data point has strongest association of its two factors. Use complete sentences to explain your answer. (5 points)

The data point with the strongest association between its two factors is that 29 out of 110 respondents who like hamburgers also like burritos. This is a conditional relative frequency of 26.4%, which is higher than any other combination of the two factors. This suggests that the respondents who like hamburgers are more likely to also like burritos than any other combination of the two factors.
