Question

A ski resort tracks the proportion of seasonal employees who are rehired each season. Rehiring a seasonal employee is beneficial in many ways, including lowering the costs incurred during the hiring process such as training costs. A random sample of 755 full-time and 415 part-time seasonal employees from 2009 showed that 419 full-time employees were rehired compared with 186 part-time employees.
 
(a) Is there a significant difference in the proportion of rehires between the full-time and part-time seasonal employees? (Use α = 0.02.)
