A randomly selected sample of 1,000 individuals were asked whether they were planning to buy a new cellphone in the next 12 months. A year later the same persons were interviewed again to find out whether they actually bought a new cellphone. The response of both interviews is given below

(i) had a plan to buy (ii) had a plan to buy but a non-buyer


(iii) had no plan to buy but a buyer.
