Yоu аre аt the stоre аnd are deciding upоn which of two clothes dryers to purchase. You decide to base your decision on drying speed and how good its delicate cycle is (both rated by Consumer Reports on a 1 (low) to 7 (high) star scale). Your evaluation process is a linear Multiattribute model and you weight delicate cycle performance more than drying speed. The attribute ratings for your 2 favorite dryer models are below.ProductDrying SpeedDelicate Cycle PerformanceSpeedy72SoftTouch24a) (6 points) You choose Speedy over SoftTouch. Explain this choice intuitively. (Do not make a numerical assumption about the attribute weights!) b) (6 points) While you are in line at the store to buy the Speedy dryer, you are told that the Speedy brand is not currently in stock. As a result, all Speedy dryer deliveries will be in two weeks rather than tomorrow. This adds a third attribute to your decision as the SoftTouch can be delivered tomorrow.

Yоu wоrk fоr аn аdvertising аgency and have been asked to develop a TV ad campaign for Pam’s Pastries, a chain of Pastry Shops that specialize in high priced but tasty baked goods. Specifically, you must decide on which TV shows to advertise on. Yolanda believes that pastry buyers care about two attributes: “tastiness” and “price”. You have results from a multi-attribute study of 5000 individuals that provides each person’s estimated preference weights (relative tastes) for these two attributes. For each of these multi-attribute study respondents you also have a variety of demographic variables that describe them.a. (7 points) You decide to segment the market based on consumers’ attribute weights for tastiness and price. What statistical analysis tool would you use? Explain this choice and provide a description of how the statistical tool generates the segmentation result.b. (4 points) You identify two benefit segments – one that weights taste much more highly than price and the other which does the opposite. Which of these two benefit segments should Pam target? Explain. c. (3 points) What statistical analysis tool would you use to identify the key demographic characteristics that differentiate the target market you chose for Pam in part c) from non-target market members? Just provide a name for the tool – no explanation is needed.d. (6 points) How would you use the results from the part c) statistical analysis to decide on the best TV shows to advertise on? Explain.
