In 2008, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A 2009 survey of business owners indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees (Radio, WEZV, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,) Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. A) How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees? B) Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Compute the p-value for a hypothesis test that can be sued to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from the 2008 level.

A) How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees?
B) Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Compute the p-value for a hypothesis test that can be sued to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from the 2008 level.
C) Using a 0.05 level of significance, would you conclude that the proportion of business owners providing gifts has decreased? What is the smallest level of significance for which you could draw such a conclusion?

Given that
Sample size (n)=60
Sample proportion=35% =0.35
Population proportion=46%=0.46
We have to find
a..How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees..
b.. compute p value
c..At 0.05 level of significance we have to conclude...
