A study finds that during blizzards, online sales are highly associated with the number of snow plows on the road; the more p
lows, the more online purchases. The director of an association of online merchants suggests that the organization should encourage municipalities to send out more plows whenever it snows because, he says, that will increase business. Comment on the director's conclusion.
Answer:A snow plow helps to clear the road of snow after a snow downpour, while online purchases are transactions conducted through internet services.
The Director conclusion that municipality should send more plows to increase sales is not valid for the two situation are exclusive of each other the number of plows does not determine the number of online sales, plows are used naturally to clear the snow but it's the blizzards that prevents people to physically visits stores and rather prefers to order online.
So it can be concluded that period of blizzards increases online transactions and the online transactions is not dependent on plows on the streets.
