- Consumer Preference In a population of 100,000 consumers, there are 20,000 users of Brand A, 30,000 users of Brand B, and 50,000 who use neither brand. During any month, a Brand A user has a 20 probability of switching to Brand B and a 5 of not using either brand. A Brand B user has a 15 probability of switching to Brand A and a 10 probability of not using either brand. A nonuser has a 10 probability of purchasing Brand A and a 15 probability of purchasing Brand B. How many people will be in each group a in 1 month, b in 2 months, and c in 18 months?arrow_forwardThe following table shows frequencies for red-green color blindness, where M represents person is male and C represents person is colour-blind.
