Answer 1

Answer: Yes. There there been a significant shift upward in the percentage of persons who want to go to Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the question, past experience at the Pasadena Travel Agency shows that 44% of people who came to plan a vacation with the agency wanted to go to Asia.

During the most recent busy season, a sampling of 1,000 plans was selected at random from the files. It was found that 480 persons wanted to go to Asia on vacation. The percentage of people who want to go to Asia now will be:

= 480/1000 × 100

= 48%

Therefore, there has been a significant shift upward in the percentage of persons who want to go to Asia.
