30. Thanksgiving Travel According to the American Automobile Association, 31 million Americans travel over the Thanksgiving holiday. To determine whether to stay open or not, a national restaurant chain surveyed 125 customers at each of four locations to see if they would be traveling over the holiday. The results are shown here. At α = 0.10, test the claim that the proportions of Americans who will travel over the Thanksgiving holiday are equal. Use the P-value method.

J. D. Power and Associates conducts vehicle quality surveys to provide automobile man-
ufacturers with consumer satisfaction information about their products (Vehicle Quality
Survey, January 2010). Using a sample of vehicle owners from recent vehicle purchase
records, the survey asks the owners a variety of questions about their new vehicles such as
those that follow. For each question, state whether the data collected are categorical or
quantitative and indicate the measurement scale being used.
What price did you pay for the vehicle?
How did you pay for the vehicle? (Cash, Lease, or Finance)
How likely would you be to recommend this vehicle to a friend? (Definitely Not,
Probably Not, Probably Will, and Definitely Will)
d. What is the current mileage?
e. What is your overall rating of your new vehicle? A 10-point scale ranging from 1 for
unacceptable to 10 for truly exceptional was used.
