A sample of 150 matched pairs of banks was formed in a study comparing banks in Turkey and Germany. Each pair contained one bank from Turkey and one from Germany. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (Turkey - Germany) was 0.0412, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3039. Test, against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal. (Assume a = 0.01.) Click the icon to view the critical values of the Student's t distribution.

In a study comparing banks in two countries, a sample of 142 matched pairs of banks was formed. Each pair contained one bank from country x and one from country y. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (country x - country y) was 0.0579, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3086.

In a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, 44% of Americans approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing (The New York Times, June 8, 2012). Assume that this percentage was true for the population of Americans at the time of this poll was conducted. A recent poll of 1265 Americans showed that 38% of them approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing. At a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the current proportion of Americans who approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing is different from 44%?Round your answers to two decimal places.zobserved =zcritical left =zcritical right =We (reject, fail to reject) the null hypothesis.

A researcher believes that among the residents of a remote community, 30% have type O blood, 50% have type A blood, 10% have type B blood and 10% have type AB blood. She takes a random sample of 80 residents and finds that 20 had type O blood, 40 had type A blood, 12 had type B blood and 8 had type AB blood. Do the data follow the hypothesized distribution of blood type for this community? Test at a = .05. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary.
