10. Pierre reads that 20% of new car owners need to schedule a service appointment for their vehicle within
1 year of owning it. He thinks this proportion could be lower. He asks a large group of friends and
coworkers and finds that 12 out of 50 people needed to schedule a service appointment for their new car
within 1 year of owning it. Does the sample in this situation meet all three conditions for performing a
significance test using a z-statistic? Why or why not?

a new car.
No, the sample was not randomly selected. Pierre chose to ask people he knows.
