1. Have you ever noticed that when a new restaurant opens around here, they are really crowded when they first open? Then, after some time, things calm down (and then I start thinking about going there. I still haven't been to Chili's in Russellville. Well, I did make it to the parking lot once when they had been open about 3 weeks. Then I saw the line of people waiting to go in and went somewhere else.). The Waiting.csv file includes data for the length of waiting time (time from when put name on list until time seated in restaurant) and the length of time the restaurant has been opened (first month, second month, third month).

a. Create a tabular summary that reports the sample size, mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range for each of the three months. Use statistical software to obtain the statistics. Use the guidelines for presenting tables posted in the FAQ tab on Blackboard.

b. Create a comparative boxplot for the data. Use statistical software to obtain the graph.

c. Create a comparative density plot for the data. Use statistical software to obtain the graph.

d. Interpret the numerical and visual summaries from parts a - c. (What are the key features of the data? How are the wait times distributed during each time period? Compare and contrast the wait times for the first three months.

3. A market research firm wants to determine if there is a difference in the amount of television viewed by people who introverted and people who are extroverted. Using the questionnaire and guidelines at https://www.jamescmccroskey.com/measures/introversion.htm, 50 introverts and 50 extroverts were identified. Each individual then answered the question "How many hours of television have you watched in the past 48 hours?" To increase participation rates, each person who completes the survey will be given $50. Data were collected between January 17 and January 19, 2016

a. Is this an observational study and not an experiment? Explain.

b. Explain the concept of confounding in the context of this study. Include an example of a possible confounding variable.

c. If the mean number of hours spent watching television was statistically significantly smaller for introverts (than for extroverts), should one conclude that the lower number of hours watching television can be attributed to level of introversion? Explain.
