Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period
or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000),
"E" or "e" (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For
scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where
"a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is
valid whereas {9i} is not.

In February 2002 the Argentine peso lost 70% of its value
compared to the United States dollar. This devaluation drastically raised the
price of imported products. According to a survey conducted by AC Nielsen in
April 2002, 68% of the consumers in Argentina were buying fewer products than
before the devaluation, 24% were buying the same number of products, and 8%
were buying more products. Furthermore, in a trend toward purchasing
less-expensive brands, 88% indicated that they had changed the brands they
purchased. Suppose the following complete set of results were reported. Use the
following data to answer this question.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group
whose main focus is to educate the public about the harm caused by drunk
drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with
drinking and driving. Five hundred accidents that occurred on a Saturday night
were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and whether
alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:
