Could you please explain the processes one by one?

Extracted text: A sample of 140 matched pairs of banks was formed in a study comparing banks in Turkey and Germany. Each pair contained one bank from Turkey and one from Germany. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (Turkey - Germany) was 0.0524, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3188. Test, against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal. (Assume oa = 0.01.) Click the icon to view the critical values of the Student's t distribution. Which of the following correctly states Ho and H, ? O A.

Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) Determine the correct conclusion. Since the test statistic is There is evidence of a difference in the two population means.
