Question

FOR 100 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!

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 liked neither hamburgers nor burritos? Show all work. (3 points)

Part B: What is the marginal relative frequency of all customers who like hamburgers? Show all work. (3 points)

Part C: Is there an association between liking burritos and liking hamburgers? Use ratios of joint and marginal frequencies to support your answer. (4 points)

Answer 1

Part A:

To find the percentage of survey respondents who liked neither hamburgers nor burritos, we need to calculate the frequency in the "Does not like hamburgers" and "Does not like burritos" categories.

Frequency of "Does not like hamburgers" = Total in "Does not like hamburgers" category = 135

Frequency of "Does not like burritos" = Total in "Does not like burritos" category = 54

Total respondents who liked neither hamburgers nor burritos = Frequency of "Does not like hamburgers" + Frequency of "Does not like burritos" = 135 + 54 = 189

Percentage of survey respondents who liked neither hamburgers nor burritos = (Total respondents who liked neither hamburgers nor burritos / Total respondents) x 100

Percentage = (189 / 205) x 100 = 92.2%

Therefore, 92.2% of the survey respondents liked neither hamburgers nor burritos.

Part B:

To find the marginal relative frequency of all customers who like hamburgers, we need to divide the frequency of "Likes hamburgers" by the total number of respondents.

Frequency of "Likes hamburgers" = 110 (given)

Total respondents = 205 (given)

Marginal relative frequency = Frequency of "Likes hamburgers" / Total respondents

Marginal relative frequency = 110 / 205 ≈ 0.5366 or 53.66%

Therefore, the marginal relative frequency of all customers who like hamburgers is approximately 53.66%.

Part C:

To determine if there is an association between liking burritos and liking hamburgers, we can compare the joint and marginal frequencies.

Joint frequency of "Likes hamburgers" and "Likes burritos" = 29 (given)

Marginal frequency of "Likes hamburgers" = 110 (given)

Marginal frequency of "Likes burritos" = 70 (calculated by adding the frequency of "Likes burritos" in the table)

To assess the association, we compare the ratio of the joint frequency to the product of the marginal frequencies:

Ratio = Joint frequency / (Marginal frequency of "Likes hamburgers" x Marginal frequency of "Likes burritos")

Ratio = 29 / (110 x 70)

Ratio ≈ 0.037 (rounded to three decimal places)
