In a survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com, employers were asked if they had ever fired an employee for holiday shopping online while at work (“Cyber Monday Shopping At Work? You’re Not Alone,” November 22, 2016, retrieved November 30, 2016). Of the 2379 employers responding to the survey, 262 said they had fired an employee for shopping online while at work. Suppose that it is reasonable to assume that the sample is representative of employers in the United States. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence that more than 10% of employers have fired an employee for shopping online at work?
