Your company experienced a 20 percent turnover last year. This means that 20 percent of the people employed at the beginning of the year were terminated or no longer employed by the end of the year. You know that a year from now you will need to have 40 more people in your company to keep up with increasing customer demand. How many employees should you plan on hiring, assuming turnover remains constant? One out of every 20 customers reports poor customer service on your company's customer satisfaction survey. You have just created a new process that should cut the number of poor customer service complaints in half. What percentage of customers would you expect to report poor service after this process is implemented?

Employee satisfaction is critical for more than just glowing business reviews — it can also greatly impact your company's long-term growth. When employees are happy, they're more likely to be productive and engaged at work. To produce exceptional results, then, it's critical that your team feels fulfilled at the office. Your group has been asked by the CEO of a local company to find out whether their employees are truly happy and engaged at work by designing an employee satisfaction survey. Your survey should include questions to gather truly helpful insights regarding your employees' happiness, so then the CEO can determine which areas need improvement. They also wish to record the employee's gender, age, and department, so they can analyze the person's responses. The survey should fit on one page, with a maximum of 10 minutes to complete.

Your company is sued for job discrimination. Based on the hiring of 20 employees, the plaintiff argues that only 20% of the newly hired candidates were minorities, when 28% of all applicants were minorities. To prepare for the lawsuit you need to decide if this is strong evidence that your company’s hiring practices are discriminatory. Follow these questions: Would you use a one-tailed or two-tailed test? Why? What would a Type I error be? What would a Type II error be? If the hypothesis is tested at the 5% significance instead of 10%, how will the power of the test be affected? The lawsuit is based on the hiring of 20 employees out of 214 new hires over the past 5 years. If the plaintiff used a sample of 40 hires, will the probability of avoiding Type II error increase or decrease? Based on the analysis you did, what your next step should be?
