You can't really draw any valid conclusions from a sample size of two. The fact that this happened with the two employees who Rachel interviewed doesn't give us any information about what the attrition rate of new employees at Google is.



You can draw valid conclusions. You just need a very wide confidence interval. If p=.05, we can assume that the real attrition rate is between about 2.5% and 97.5%.
