UberEatsMarket Research Study
Is UberEats (Washington DC market) a sustainable service among the
rising competition?
•How do preferences differ between demographics (age, gender, salary, occupation, and spending habits)?
•What do customers value, where are they located, and what is their purchase sensitivity?
•Do customers want the best quality food (from gourmet chefs) to be delivered or would they rather have
this experience at the brick-and-mortar restaurant?
•Do customers value the fastest delivery service or the cheapest delivery service?
•Do customers want more of a range of options on the menu and/or a range of restaurants available?
•Do customers want to order delivery food during lunch hours at work or dinner time at home?
•Will customers order food for themselves or as a group with colleagues or family members?
Information That We Need to Know
For our experiment, we will compare factors with our competitors, Postmates and GrubHub. Thus, our null hypothesis is that for overall satisfaction is H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠G
Spending Habits H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠GAge H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠GGender H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠GOccupation H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠GSalary H0: U=P=G and our alternative hypothesis is U≠P≠G or U≠P=G or U=P≠G
In addition, we will look into the importance factors (User interface, Food price, Food Selection, Delivery price, Delivery Time estimate, and Overall satisfaction) among our survey subjects.
H0:U=F=FS=D=DT=O and our alternative hypotheses is at least one factor varies.
Hypothesis
By comparing the UberEats service with GrubHub and Postmates, Uber Eats received the worst satisfaction among the food selection and user. When we compared the user expectations to their actual experience using the apps we found that user interface is the key reason why people dislike UberEats compared to GrubHub and Postmates.
In fact, our respondents are willing to pay more for this service, if they had a pleasant app/online experience.
Results
Age, gender, and salary did not seem to have statistical significance on user preferences given our smaller sample size.
Based on our findings, our recommendation would be to improve the user interface, which would overall increase the acceptability of the service (further A/B testing needed).
UberEats should also work on expanding the food selection otherwise they will not be able to capture the market even with the superior delivery time estimates.

Johns Hopkins UniversityField Experiment Design
What is the effect of a revamped
eNewsletter design on student engagement?
In order to estimate the effect of a revamped eNewletter design, we must define our constructs:
z = 1 = sending a treatment emailz = 0 = sending a control email
d = 1 = treatment, individual receives redesigned email newsletterD = 0 = control, individual receives email with status quo subject line and status quo newsletter design
Yi = 1 = completion of survey responseYi = 0 = no completion of survey response
Schemez (sending an email) → d (receives an email) → Y (survey completion)
Design and Definitions
There is an important distinction in our experiment, as effectively:
z = d
This is because by our definitions, sending is the same as receiving (we are assuming bounces to be
effectively zero). In effect, everyone is a complier.
Therefore, a estimand of the CACE = E[(Yi(d = 1) – Yi(d = 0)) | di(1) = 1] reduces to simply the ATE of
receiving an email:
ATE = Yi(d = 1) – Yi(d = 0)
Estimand
Conducted to get an estimate of the number of subjects required to conduct the analysis with
appropriate false positives (α) and false negatives (β)
Discussed the experiment with school internal communications person and received following
inputs:
●Current response rate of surveys - 30 to 40% for both full-time and part-time students (pc =
35%)
●Changing email format will not involve huge investment which led to expected raise of 5%
considering the total number of students in school (pt = 40%)
●Survey response rate is significantly different between asian and non-asian students, which
can be used as one of the covariates
Power Analysis (i)
Other Inputs:
●Total number of students: 2073 (923 full time and 1150 part time)
●Baseline α assumed as 5%
Power (β) calculated based on
Power Analysis (ii)
Sensitivity Analysis with a two variable data table including pt and pc shows that using N = 2073,
the power of experiment is likely to range from 75% to 98%
Sensitivity Analysis (i)
Sensitivity analysis with Alpha (α) and response rate of treatment group (pt) as variables again
reflects that the power will lie between 75% and 95%

Recommendation
Share Repurchase vs. Dividend- a high dividend payout is important to investors,
however, taxation is higher on a dividend than a capital gain. A share repurchase would increase Wigley's voter control and price per share.
