Question: A software company is trying to decide whether to produce an upgrade of one of its programs.  Customers would have to pay $100 for the upgrade.  For the upgrade to be profitable, the company needs to sell it to more than 20% of their customers.  You contact a random sample of 60 customers and find that 16 would be willing to pay $100 for the upgrade.
