A simple random sample of families living in a Chicago suburb was selected. Each family was asked to estimate the number of times each month they went out to eat. The families were told to use a 30-day month and to consider breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Household size and number of times dining out per month are shown in the table below: Number of Times Dining out per Mont
