In a study comparing banks in two countries, a sample of 150 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 minus −country y) was 0.0564, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3105. Test, against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal. (Assume α=0.10.)

This quiz covers "Matched Pairs" in the last part of Section 7.1 and is due at 9:00 PM on Tuesday April 7. You will have two attempts at this quiz. I suggest you do all of them first on paper. After the first attempt, you should write down which ones you answered correctly and which one incorrectly, as well as any hints that were given. Then re-solve the problems and take the quiz a second time. Note that the responses...
Problem 5 Each year, the Chapman University Survey of American Fears asks a random sample of Americans whether they are afraid of various issues. One question on the survey asks about air pollution. The table below reports the number of individuals surveyed in 2018 who responded that they were either afraid or not afraid of air pollution, by political affiliation.

The price to earnings ratio (P/E) is an important tool in financial work. A random sample of 14 large U.S. banks (J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, and others) gave the following P/E ratios.† 24 16 22 14 12 13 17 22 15 19 23 13 11 18 The sample mean is x ≈ 17.1. Generally speaking, a low P/E ratio indicates a "value" or bargain stock. Suppose a recent copy of a magazine indicated that the P/E ratio of...
Revisiting Ricardo's Example Ricardo (1817) posited a world of two countries, England and Portugal, whiclh can make each of two goods, cloth and wine. What he assumed about how many workers it takes to make a unit of each good in each country appears in Table 1 Since the workers required to make one unit of a good are the same no matter hov many units are produced, Ricardo was assuming constant returns to scale Ricardo argued that trade could...
