Question 9

Healthy Foods
In segmenting the frozen meal market in Spain,a food manufacturer uses health and diet consciousness as the segmentation variable.Four segments are developed and coded as follows:
 1: Concermed about eating healthy faods
2: Concerned about weight
3: Concerned about health because of illnese
4: Unconcermed To distinguish between groups,surveys are conducted.On the basis of a questionnaire,people are categorized as belonging to one of these groups.A recent survey asked a random sample of 1,500 Spanish adults (20 and over)to complete the survey.Out of the 1,500 people surveyed,360 indicated that they are concerned about eating healthy foods.The most recent information available reveals that there are 40,256,000 Spanish adults who are 20 and over.
