Question: During a recent trip to her favorite restaurant, Sandy (owner of shop 1 ) met Chris Talley (owner of shop 7) (see Problem 14-28). After an enjoyable lunch, Sandy and Chris had a heated discussion about market share for the quick-oil-change operations in their city. Here is their conversation:
Sandy: My operation is so superior that after someone changes oil at one of my shops, they will never do business with anyone else. On second thought, maybe 1 person out of 100 will try your shop after visiting one of my shops. In a month, I will have \(99 \%\) of the market, and you will have \(1 \%\) of the market.
Chris: You have it completely reversed. In a month, I will have \(99 \%\) of the market, and you will only have \(1 \%\) of the market. In fact, I will treat you to a meal at a restaurant of your choice if you are right. If I am right, you will treat me to one of those big steaks at David's Steak House. Do we have a deal?
Sandy: Yes! Get your checkbook or your credit card. You will have the privilege of paying for two very expensive meals at Anthony's Seafood Restaurant.
- Assume that Sandy is correct about customers visiting one of her quick-oil-change shops. Will she win the bet with Chris?
- Assume that Chris is correct about customers visiting one of his quick-oil-change shops. Will he win the bet?
- Describe what would happen if both Sandy and Chris are correct about customers visiting their quick-oil-change operations.
