ABC Enterprises is a company in which employees must frequently travel for business meetings with clients inside their city limits. Currently, each employee is allotted 40 dollars each day to cover meals while on the road. They are reimbursed for gas and other expenses in a separate budget, so the 40 dollars is only for meals. Employees have complained that this amount is not enough, especially if they had several meetings per day, and HR wanted to investigate. A survey was given to get recommendations for a new daily meal allotment. Although not all responded, 49% of employess did.

You have a sample of employees at ABC Enterprises, and this is a sample of the population. We want to use this sample to learn about the entire population of workers at the company. We are going to treat the population as if it is not a finite population.

Annie is a company employee who grew up with 7 older brothers. She noticed that they tended to eat more than she did, and she assumed that this characteristic applied to the general population. In other words, she believes that males eat more than females. She wondered if the proportion of male employees in the company was impacting the survey results.

Answer these questions:

• What proportion of the sample are male?
