Question
========

In a small city the satisfaction with the local public
transportation is evaluated. One question of interest is whether
inhabitants of the city centre are more satisfied with public
transportation compared to those living in the suburbs.

A survey with 250 respondents gave the following contingency table:

```{r, echo = FALSE, comment = NA}
public
```

The following table of percentages was constructed:

```{r, echo = FALSE, comment = NA}
print(format(prop_public, nsmall = 1, justify = "right", 
             width = max(nchar(colnames(prop_public)))), quote = FALSE)
```

Which of the following statements are correct?

```{r questionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"}
answerlist(questions, markup = "markdown")
```


Solution
========

```{r, echo = FALSE}
interpretation <- c("conditional proportions for location given satisfaction level.",
                    "conditional proportions for satisfaction level given location type.",
                    "the proportions for each location type and satisfaction level.")
```

In the percentage table, the `r rowsums[variant]` are about 100
(except for possible rounding errors). Hence, the table provides
`r percentage[variant]` percentages, i.e.,
`r interpretation[variant]`

```{r solutionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"}
answerlist(
  ifelse(solutions, "True", "False"),
  explanations, markup = "markdown")
```
