Twice the Comfort
What was called the tallest hotel in North America opened recently in New York City. Well, it's really two hotels, near Times Square. Floors 6-33 are a Courtyard by Marriott, and floors 37-65 are a Residence Inn by Marriott.42 The price per room on any floor is high, due to the location near Times Square and Central Park. A sample of guests was obtained, and each was classified by hotel within the hotel, Courtyard (C) or Residence Inn (R). The ordered observations are given in the following table.
a. Use the runs test with a ≈ 0.05 to determine whether there is any evidence to suggest that the order of observations is not random with respect to hotel (within the hotel).
b. Find the p value associated with this test.
