4 Many parents are interested in a children's camp that recently opened, but only a small portion of the interested parents have enrolled their children in the camp. Currently, camp is held Monday-Friday from 10 am until noon. The owner wants to know if more of the interested parents would enroll their children if the camp was held in the evening. To investigate, she selects a random sample of parents who already bring their children to the camp and asks them if they would enroll their children if they switched to evening hours. The results show that 8% of the parents in the sample would enroll their children if they switched to evening hours.
