The owner of a restaurantserving Continental-style entrees was interested in studying ordering patternsof patrons for the Friday-to-Sunday weekend time period. Records were maintained that indicated the demand for dessert during the same time period. The owner decided to study two other variables, along with whether a dessert was ordered: the gender of the individual and whether a beef entree was ordered. The results are as follows:
