The marketing manager of a pizza chain is in the process of examining some of the demographic characteristics of her customers. In particular, she would like to investigate the belief that the ages of the customers of pizza parlors, hamburger emporiums, and fast-food chicken restaurants are different. As an experiment, the ages of eight customers of each of the restaurants are recorded and listed below. Do these data provide enough evidence at the 10% significance level to conclude that there are differences in ages among the customers of the three restaurants? From previous analyses, we know that the ages are not normally distributed.
Customer Ages:
Pizza: 23, 19, 25, 17, 36, 25, 28, 31
Hamburger: 26, 20, 18, 35
Chicken: 25, 28, 36, 22, 39, 27, 25, 19, 17, 31
