10.2 Find the sample proportions and test statistic for equal proportions. Is the decision close? Find the p-value.
a. Dissatisfied workers in two companies: x1 = 40, n1 = 100, x2 = 30, n2 = 100, α = .05, two tailed
test.
b. Rooms rented at least a week in advance at two hotels: x1 = 24, n1 = 200, x2 = 12, n2 = 50,
α = .01, left-tailed test.
c. Home equity loan default rates in two banks: x1 = 36, n1 = 480, x2 = 26, n2 = 520, α = .05,
right-tailed test.
10.3 In 1999, a sample of 200 in-store shoppers showed that 42 paid by debit card. In 2004, a sample of the same size showed that 62 paid by debit card.
(a) Formulate appropriate hypotheses to test whether the percentage of debit card shoppers increased.
(b) Carry out the test at α = .01.
(c) Find the p-value.
(d) Test whether normality may be assumed

n1 = 15, ¯x2 = 3.25, s2 = .30, n2 = 15, α = .025, left-tailed test.
b. Comparison of average commute miles for randomly chosen students at two community colleges:
¯x1 = 15, s1 = 5, n1 = 22, ¯x2 = 18, s2 = 7, n2 = 19, α = .05, two-tailed test.
c. Comparison of credits at time of graduation for randomly chosen accounting and economics students:
¯x1 = 139, s1 = 2.8, n1 = 12, ¯x2 = 137, s2 = 2.7, n2 = 17, α = .05, right-tailed test.
