July at the Multiplex
Executive Summary
What are the standards of selling a service or product so the customer will not get furious? If we tried out best but they are still unsatisfied, what kind of response should we give? In this case “July at the Multiplex”, the plaintiff, Tommy, was not satisfied with the service that was provided with Royal 16 Theater. He demanded the money that he paid be returned. The theater owner, Mr. Plex refused to do so. Therefore, Tommy was outraged and filed a lawsuit against him.
Mr. Plex has two choices to make. The first is to negotiate settlement money or defend the lawsuit. As a group, we will give our best knowledge of business law, statistics, and ethics to help Mr. Plex choose the ideal decision. First of all we will compare the fraud and misrepresentation of business law. Furthermore, we conducted tests on Hypothetical test and a Confidence Interval calculation. Lastly, under the ethics theory of cost-benefit analysis, justice vs. fairness and rights, we decided on the best action that Mr. Plex is supposed to take.

    Mr. Mull T. Plex and the consortium of theaters around the area have hired our consulting team to analyze and break down the litigation against the Royal Theater made by Tommy. Tommy is suing the Royal Theater on charges of fraudulent misrepresentation and the consortium of theaters is very well concerned with the possibility of a class action lawsuit that could prevail from this case. Tommy’s lawsuit is based on his experience at the Royal Theater during the screening of movie “The Governator.” After a displeasing chain of events, Tommy demanded a full refund in which Royal Theater refused. Mr. Plex and the consortium of theaters have asked us to assess the situation and to authenticate whether or not…

    We have proven that 94% of the surveyed moviegoers indicated that they are satisfied that theater play commercials before movie. Only 6% of the moviegoers opposed to watch commercials before movie. This statistical analysis validates that the consortium should seek to defend any lawsuit Tommy or any other unhappy moviegoer files. In this situation, a Type II error would have been made if we decided to base our analysis…

    After careful reviewing of the information provided by our firm, Mr. Plex along with the consortium decided that it is best if the firm conducted a random sample of 100 patrons and analyze the results. In turn, the sample revealed that 6 out of the 100 patrons surveyed agreed with Tommy and resented the ads. It only makes sense because if the sample were to have bigger numbers, you would see that there are a lot more people that resent the ads as well. Now, with that being said, if instead, 300 patrons had been randomly surveyed and 18 out of the 300 patrons agreed with Tommy and resented the ads, our answer would still remain the same. The percentage from both would still hit 60%, and that’s already more than what was asked in the first place which was more than 10%. The reality of the case is that obviously there are those who don’t mind the previews before the movie starts because that gives them a little more time to get to the theater if they are running late. Then there are those who absolutely hate it (like Tommy) and that ruins their experience. However, that has been a part of the process for a while and it wouldn’t make sense to remove the ads for the reason that the company and the studios would lose money. It all comes down to whether or not a reasonable person standard would take the same action Tommy did if they didn’t like a movie or commercials. However, since the percentage is actually more than 10%, the consortium will have to consider negotiating a settlement of some sort of any lawsuit filed by Tommy.…
