Chapter 9.5, Problem 40E

Holiday Gifts from Employers. Last year, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners.

  1. a. How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees this year?
  2. b. Suppose the business owners in the sample did as they plan. Compute the p-value for a hypothesis test that can be used to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year.
  3. c. Using a .05 level of significance, would you conclude that the proportion of business owners providing gifts decreased? What is the smallest level of significance for which you could draw such a conclusion?
