Paired Difference Test:
Example
Assume you send your salespeople to a “customer
service” training workshop. Has the training made a
difference in the number of complaints? You collect
the following data:
Number of Complaints: (2) - (1) Di

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article indicating
differences in perception of sexual harassment on the job between men
and women. The article claimed that women perceived the problem to
be much more prevalent than did men. One question asked of both men
and women was: "Do you think sexual harassment is a major problem in
the American workplace?" 24% of the men compared to 62% of the
women responded "Yes." Assuming W designates women's responses
and M designates men's.
1. What hypothesis should The Wall Street Journal test in order to show
that its claim is true?
2. Suppose that 150 women and 200 men were interviewed. For a 0.01
level of significance, what is the critical value for the rejection region
3. What is the value of the test statistic?
