Q: 5 VC Fast foods is the one of the leading restaurants chains in Ahmedabad and
now they are interested in diversify their business. The owner has decided to
venture into garment manufacturing. The owner (Mr. A) gave this idea to his
son (Mr. B), who liked it very much. Mr. B had already done a course in
fashion designing and wanted to do something different for the consumers of
this industry. An idea struck him that he should design garments for people
who are very bulky but want a lean back look after wearing readymade
garments. The first thing that came to his mind was to have an estimate of
people who wore large sized shirts (40 size and above) and large sized
trousers (38 size and above).
A meeting was called between various experts from the garment industry and
a number of fashion designers to discuss on how they should proceed. A
common concern for many of them was to know the size of such a market.
Another issue that was bothering them was how to approach the respondents.
It was believed that asking people about the size of their shirt or trouser may
put them off and there may not be any worthwhile response. A suggestion that
came up was that they should employ some observers at entrances of various
malls and their job would be look at people who walked into the malls and see
whether the concerned person was wearing a big sized shirt of trouser. This
would be a better way of approaching the respondents. This procedure would
help them to estimate in a very simple way the proportion of people who wore
big sized garments.
a) Name the sampling design that is being used in the study. 7
b) What are the limitations of the design so chosen? 7
OR
a) Can you suggest a better design? 7
b) What method of data collection is being employed? 7
