Instruction 10-6
A buyer for a manufacturing plant suspects that his primary supplier of raw materials is overcharging.In order to determine if his suspicion is correct,he contacts a second supplier and asks for the prices on similar various materials.He wants to compare these prices with those of his primary supplier.The data collected is presented in the table below,with some summary statistics presented (all of these might not be necessary to answer the questions which follow).The buyer believes that the differences are normally distributed and will use this sample to perform an appropriate test at a level of significance of 0.01.

A corporation randomly selects 150 salespeople and finds that 66% who have never taken a self-improvement course would like such a course.The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course.The groups are assumed to be independent random samples.Let π1 and π2 represent the true proportion of workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study,respectively.
