2. Bill owns a restaurant. Over the next four weeks Bill decides to carry out a sample survey to obtain the customers’ opinions.
  1. Suggest a suitable sampling frame for the sample survey.
  2. Identify the sampling units.
  3. Give one advantage and one disadvantage of taking a census rather than a sample survey. Bill believes that only \(30 \%\) of customers would like a greater choice on the menu. He takes a random sample of 50 customers and finds that 20 of them would like a greater choice on the menu.
  4. Test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether or not the percentage of customers who would like a greater choice on the menu is more than Bill believes. State your hypotheses clearly.
