Dick's Sporting Goods sells a variety of sports equipment for a variety of sports that are played throughout the year. If there is no seasonal effect on customers visiting Dick's Sporting Goods, one would expect the amount of customers to be equal every season. Dick's Sporting Goods took a census of all of their customer visits from the past year at one of their Jacksonville locations. Out of their 30,000 visits one year, 3,000 were from the spring, 8,000 were from the summer, 5,000 were from the fall, and 14,000 were from the winter.
What are the expected numbers of customer visits each season if there is no seasonal effect on visits? Match the correct visitor counts to the appropriate season, answers may be used more than once.
spring, summer, fall, winter
5,000
8,000
7,500
3,000
14,000
This is the information provided:
Season | Count |
Spring | 3000 |
Summer | 8000 |
Fall | 5000 |
Winter | 14000 |
Total | 30000 |
In the absence of seasonal effects on visits, we can assume that the visitors are evenly spread out throughout the year i.e. each season visitors would be simply 30000/4 = 7500 each season. Hence the answer becomes:
Season | Count in absence of seasonality |
Spring | 7500 |
Summer | 7500 |
Fall | 7500 |
Winter | 7500 |
Total | 30000 |
