The senior vice president for marketing at a Hotel believes that
the company’s recent advertising of the hotel has decreased the
average room idle rate. To test the hypothesis, random sample of
daily idle rates (in percentages) before the advertising is
collected. A similar random sample of daily idle rates is collected
after the advertising took place. The data are as follows.
Before (%) 8 17 12 21 19 10 After (%) 6 10 1 11 17 8
Is there evidence that the average room idle rate of the hotel has
decreased after the advertising at the 0.01 level of
significance.

Question 1
Paris planned to celebrate her birthday with a party on 27 November 2017. On 1 November, she agreed with the Sun Hotel to hire its ‘Orangery’ annexe for the party. The contract required the payment of $5,000 immediately, which Paris paid, and a further payment of $10,000 by 14 November. On 4 November, the Sun Hotel spent $2,000 relocating orange trees in preparation for the event. On 8 November, a colony of bats settled in the Orangery. The Sun Hotel rang the local authority to ask whether the bats could be removed. The local authority said that the bats could not be disturbed and that it would therefore be illegal to use the Orangery while the bats were in it. Paris was immediately notified but, despite her protests, was told that no refund could be made, as the contract had no provision for this eventuality.
Required a. Define what is meant by frustration of a contract.
b. Identify the types of frustrating event with reference to relevant legal cases.
c. Explain whether the contract between the Sun Hotel and Paris has been frustrated.
d. Explain whether Paris can recover any or all of the $5,000 payment made to the Sun Hotel and is liable to pay the further payment of $10,000.

Rewrite the following text using the correct tone and style to create goodwill.
I am writing to you because I want to complain about the horrible service that I endured during my stay at your hotel last weekend.
The porter took such a long time to send my luggage up to my room and he even dared to ask me for a tip. The air-conditioner was also very noisy, and I could not have my beauty sleep which is very important to me. When I called to complain, I was told that it could not be fixed as all maintenance staff was on leave. The service at the restaurants was also so slow and the food was also cold and tasteless. What kind of hotel is this calling yourself as a famous world known 5-star hotel?
I want you to give me a refund of RM 8,888 for the amount that I paid for the room for two nights inclusive of personal damages. I will never stay at your hotel ever again. I am social influencer and if you don't give me a refund, I will post on my social media accounts to boycott your hotel!
