Increasing numbers of businesses are offering child-care benefits for their workers. However, one union claims that more than 85% of firms in the manufacturing sector still do not offer any child-care benefits to their workers. A random sample of 490 manufacturing firms is selected and asked if they offer child-care benefits. 421 say they do have child-care benefits. Be sure to show all steps as outlined in the notes. Use α = 0.10.
Out of 490 manufacturing firms 421 say they do have child-care benefits so number of firms do not offer any child-care benefits to their workers is 490 -421 = 69.
Conclusion: There is no evidence to support the claim that more than 85% of firms in the manufacturing sector still do not offer any child-care benefits to their workers.
