Question
A company's price/earnings (P/E) ratio is the company's current stock price divided by the latest 12 months' earnings per share. Suppose the following table shows the P/E ratios for a sample of 10 Japanese companies and 12 U.S. companies.

Is the difference between the P/E ratios for the two countries significant? Use the MWW test and a = 0.01 to support your conclusion.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho: The two populations of P/E ratios are identical.
H₂: The two populations of P/E ratios are not identical.
O Ho: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies 20
H₂: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies < 0
O Ho: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies ≤ 0
H₂: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies > 0
O Ho: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies > 0
H₂: Median for Japanese companies - Median for U.S. companies = 0
O Ho: The two populations of P/E ratios are not identical.
H₂: The two populations of P/E ratios are identical.
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
