Data from previous exercise

Can waitresses increase their tips simply by introducing  themselves by name when they greet customers? A waitress collected data on two-person parties that she waited on during Sunday brunch (with a fixed price of $23.21) at a Charley Brown’s restaurant in southern California. For each party the waitress used a random mechanism to determine whether to give her name as part of her greeting or not. Then she kept track of how much the party gave for a tip at the end of their meal.
