In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal.Note: For degrees of freedomd.f. not in the Student'st table, use the closestd.f. that issmaller. In some situations, this choice ofd.f. may increase theP-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at rowB, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus rowA, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (rowB) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. (Letd =B −A.)
