A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was less than 9 years. A survey of 99 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.6 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of 4.1 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007).
