You are working for a marketing research firm and have been asked to segment the market of car buyers into three groups so that each customer would be a likely buyer of one of three cars.
The car list1 (Table 1) shows the mileage equivalent each car gets (representing utilitarian value) and the feature ranking of the car (representing hedonic value).
Table 1-Example Cars
Car Mileage(MPG) Features
Nissan Leaf 112 Low
Ford Edge 21 High
Honda Fit 36 Medium
Each of the 10 customers (Table 2) have answered a survey where they rated on a scale of 1 to 10
a) how practical (utilitarian) a car they would buy should be, and b) how enjoyable (hedonic) a car they would buy should be.
