Mission Main Street Grant Statistics

Mission Main Street GrantHow many entrepreneurs would like to know the odds of receiving the Chase Mission Main Street Grant?

What are the chances?  I’m sure that there are a few people who find the numbers fascinating and others who are anxiously awaiting the results.

A statistical sample was taken today, just one day before voting ends,  from 14 major metropolitan markets. The total number of businesses applying for the Chase Mission Main Street Grant within those 14 markets was approximately 2,309. The sample is 99% statistically significant since, given the population size, the margin of error is merely +/- 1%.

There were 588 entrants who (as of Thursday, October 16, 2014) moved onto the next level.  That represents about 25% of those who entered. Looking at the votes, there were 118 applicants that received more than 300 votes. That translates to about 5% of all applicants in the 14 major markets received more than 300 votes.

Since there are 20 grants that will be awarded, given the 588 moving on, roughly 3% will receive a grant, or roughly 1 out of every 33 who qualify. Do you like this statistical analysis?
