Eagle Outfitters is a chain of stores specializing in outdoor apparel and camping gear. They are considering a promotion that involves mailing discount coupons to all their credit card customers. This promotion will be considered a success if more than 10% of those receiving the coupons use them. Before going national with the promotion, coupons were sent to a sample of 100 credit card customers.

Use $\alpha= .05$ to conduct your hypothesis test. Should Eagle go national with the promotion?

b. Assume the Investment Company Institute, sampled 300 American families to estimate that the percent owning stocks or stock funds was $46 \%$ in 2012. What is the $p$-value for your hypothesis test?

Ten years ago $53 \%$ of American families owned stocks or stock funds. Sample data collected by the Investment Company Institute indicate that the percentage is now $46 \%$.

a. Develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of $H_0$ will support the conclusion that a smaller proportion of American families own stocks or stock funds in 2012 than 10 years ago.
