Fuentes Salty Snacks, Inc.

Six months ago, Fuentes Salty Snacks, Inc. added a new flavor to its line of potato chips. The new flavor, candied bacon, was introduced through a nationwide rollout supported by an extensive promotional campaign. Fuentes' management is convinced that quick penetration into grocery stores is key to the successful introduction of a new salty snack product, and management now wants to determine whether the availability of Fuentes' Candied Bacon Potato Chips is consistent in grocery stores across regions of the United States. Fuentes Marketing department has selected random samples of 40 grocery stores in each of its eight U.S. sales regions:

• New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont)
• Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania)
• Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin)
• Great Plains (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota)
• South Atlantic (Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia)
• Deep South (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas)
• Mountain (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming)
• Pacific (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington)

The stores in each sample were then contacted, and the manager of each store was asked whether the store currently carries Fuentes' Candied Bacon Potato Chips. The complete data set is available in the fileFuentesChips.

Fuentes' senior management now wants to use these data to assess whether penetration of Fuentes' Candied Bacon Potato Chips in grocery stores is consistent across its eight U.S. sales regions. If penetration of Fuentes' Candied Bacon Potato Chips in grocery stores differs across its eight U.S. sales regions, Fuentes' management would also like to identify sales regions in which penetration of Fuentes' Candied Bacon Potato Chips is lower or higher than expected.
