Math Question
Q. The 2012 Restaurant Industry Forecast takes a closer look at today’s consumers. Based on a 2011 National Restaurant Association survey, consumers are divided into three segments (optimistic, cautious, and hunkered-down) based on their financial situation, cur- rent spending behavior, and economic outlook. Suppose the results, based on a sample of 100 males and 100 females, were as follows:
GENDER | |||
CONSUMER SEGMENT | MALE | FEMALE | TOTAL |
Optimistic | 26 | 16 | 42 |
Cautious | 41 | 43 | 84 |
Hunkered-down | 33 | 41 | 74 |
Total | 100 | 100 | 200 |
If a consumer is selected at random, what is the probability that he or she
a. is classified as cautious?
