Question
Transcribed Image Text:It is claimed that only 20% of Thunder Bay residents would be willing to purchase a home
in a residential subdivision designed on the principles of new urbanism. Based on a focus
group you suspect this number is too low, so to test out your suspicions you carry out a
survey. A random sample of 425 residents is interviewed. Of these, 100 indicate a
favourable view of new urbanism design. What can be concluded if alpha is set to .1?
