Analyzing Survey Data for a Novel Product
A company planning to offer sub-orbital space flights conducted a survey of 1,000 high-net-worth individuals. The survey asked, 'What is the maximum price you would be willing to pay for a single ticket?' The results are summarized below:
- 20 people said they would pay up to $500,000.
- 50 people said they would pay up to $400,000.
- 150 people said they would pay up to $300,000.
- 300 people said they would pay up to $200,000.
- 480 people said they would pay less than $200,000 or were not interested.
Based on this data, first, construct a demand schedule showing the quantity of tickets that would be demanded at each of the following prices: $500,000, $400,000, $300,000, and $200,000. Second, identify and explain one major potential weakness of using this survey data to make a multi-billion dollar investment decision.
