Industry Example
A marketing manager of an enterprise is facing a decision whether
to introduce a new product into the market or not. Consumer
acceptance measured in a blind Comparison test is agreed upon as
an appropriate basis for evaluation. Marketing of the new product
will be pursued only if the acceptance rate exceeds 30%. Otherwise,
the new product will not be introduced in the market. A random
sample of 200 consumers reveals that the acceptance rate is 32%. At
95% confidence level, should the new product be launched?
Statistical evidence points that the confidence level is 73% for 32% sample
audience acceptance. If 95% confidence is needed, then the acceptance rate
should be 35% to 36% in the sample target audience. Hence the new
product should not be introduced.
