Selected Sampling


Because of these percentages the marketing team felt like they should use a “guys night out” strategy to re-market to previous season ticket holders and to try to attract new season ticket holders by offering free beer/wine.
However, before the promotion could get final approval, questions arose over the process being fair and impartial.  Upper management were concern about sexism backlash from it being advertised as a “Guys Night Out” promotion, especially since the drawing for a trip to Hawaii was involved (in which 100% of respondents entered).  Therefore, Stan Goodman asked, if when someone is randomly selected from all respondents what is the probability that it is a woman.  The answer came back as 40.8% or 102/250.  Then Goodman inquired, “What is the probability that a woman who said yes would win the trip to Hawaii?”  In technical term this would be written as P(Y|W), which equals to 63/102= 0.6176 or roughly 62%.
