According to the independent sample t –test that was used to analyze whether the Hobbit’s Choice restaurant is more appealing to women than it is to men (Vice versa), the results show that the mean of men who answered to the question “How likely would it be for you to patronize this restaurant?,” is 3.02 (On a scale of 1-5, 5 being ‘Very likely’), while women’s responses averaged to 2.98. Despite the mean of men responses is greater than women’s, the level of significance is .538 (Table 1), which is greater than .05. This indicates that there is no sufficient evidence that there is a difference between the genders in their levels of appeal because the populations of the two genders are different. There is very little difference between the two genders to accurately determine which gender finds the restaurant more appealing. Next, the location of the restaurant preferred by patrons is discussed.
The results indicate that after a paired t-test analyzing whether a waterfront view is preferred more than a drive of less than 30 minutes, the mean of people who prefer the waterfront is 3.42 while the mean of people who would rather drive less than half an hour is 2.73 (Table 2A). The level of significance is .000 (Table 2B), which is less than .05 indicating that the means are significantly different. With respect to the location of Hobbit’s choice Restaurant, a waterfront view is more preferred since the mean is higher than the average of people who prefer otherwise.
With respect to the restaurant’s atmosphere, a jazz combo is much preferred according to results where the mean of people who prefer a jazz combo is 3.70 while the mean of people who prefer a string quartet is 2.50 (Table 3A). The output indicates that the level
