Question

Passing the ball between two players during a soccer game is a critical skill for the success of a team. A random sample of passes made by the English and German teams in the 2010 World Cup was drawn, and the number of successful passes in each sample was counted. See data below. What kind of test is needed here?

	Germany	England
# of successful passes	69	71
Total in the sample	76	91

Independent Means

Independent Proportions

Proportion vs. Hypothesized Value

Paired Observations

Answer 1

Here, we are given two independent samples (Germany and England) and their respective number of successful passes

Thus, we have two sample proportions over here

where, p1 = proportion for Germany = 69/76

and p2 = proportion for England = 71/91

Thus, we will use test for independent proportions
