Question

Suppose one of your colleagues suggests a marketing plan for soft drinks which relocates most canned drink vending machines into low-income neighborhoods. 1. Based on your analyses so far, would you agree to her suggestion? Why or why not? What the descriptive analysis indicates and what the regression analysis suggests might differ from each other. And I don’t suppose there is a clear-cut yes/no type answer to this question. Rather I will focus on your reasoning and persuasive writing skills here.
