Question

Are families more or less likely to eat out on Tuesday compared to the general population?

A) Less likely
B) More likely
C) The same likelihood
D) Can't tell from the data

Answer 1

Without specific data or statistical information, it's impossible to determine the likelihood of families eating out on Tuesdays compared to the general population, the closeness of current families, or the mean number of times different races eat out monthly; hence, for all queries the answer is 'Can't tell from the data.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The question being asked does not provide enough data to determine the likelihood of families eating out on a Tuesday compared to the general population. Without specific information or statistical data comparing family dining habits on Tuesdays to those of the general population, it’s impossible to choose between options A) Less likely, B) More likely, C) The same likelihood, or D) Can't tell from the data. Therefore, the answer to the question is D) Can't tell from the data.

Regarding the second statement, research on family closeness is not provided, so it is also unclear what the beliefs are about the closeness of current families compared to those in the past. The answer would therefore be D) none of the above, as there is no data to support any of the other claims.

Finally, without Table 13.26 or its equivalent data illustrating the mean number of times a month different races eat out, there's no way to accurately respond to whether this average is the same for whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. Once again, the proper response is D) Can't tell from the data.
