Chapter 11, Problem 8PS
The more costly and time-consuming it is to export and import, the more difficult it is for local companies to be competitive and to reach international markets. As part of an initial investigation exploring foreign market entry, 10 countries were selected from each of four global regions. The cost associated with compliance of the economy’s customer regulations to import a shipment in these countries (in US
a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean cost of importing across the four global regions?
b. If appropriate, determine which global regions differ in mean cost of importing?
c. At the 0.05 level of significations, is there evidence of a difference in the variation in cost of importing among the four global regions?

Using the variable average mercury in the Florida lakes dataset to test whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish ( large mouth Bass) in Florida lakes is less than 1.0ppm and whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish in Florida lakes is less than 0.5ppm. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES? GIVE THE TEST STATISTICS AND P-VALUE? round the test statistic to two decimal places and the p-value to three decimal places. DOES THIS SAMPLE PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE AVERAGE MERCURY LEVEL OF FISH (LARGE MOUTH BASS) IN FLORIDA LAKES IS LESS THAN 1.0PPM? LESS THAN 0.5 PPM : STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES.

Pond’s Age-Defying Complex, a cream with alpha-hydroxy acid, advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve the skin. In a study published in Archives of Dermatology (June 1996), 33 women over age 40 used a cream with alpha-hydroxy acid for twenty-two weeks. At the end of the study period, 23 of the women exhibited skin improvement (as judged by a dermatologist).
B.) Calculate the estimate for this parameter.
The demand for hand sanitizers is off the charts due to this coronavirus outbreak. People are in desperate need of hand sanitizers.

- The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Here are data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius.

- A factory produces furniture as the main product. One of the major components of the furniture product is a steel bar with the specification of the length at 1,250 mm with +/- 10% tolerance. Based on historical records, the average demand for steel bars is 1,000 units per month. The factory receives two quotation prices from two independent suppliers along with the quality control records from their production process of the steel bars as below: (refer to table image) Anticipating that a portion of the steel bars delivered will fall outside the specification limits, the factory is prepared to cut steel bars that are too long, while those that are too short will have to be discarded. Based on the above information, answer the following questions: a. Provide your assessment on the capabilities (based on their capabilities index) of the two suppliers as well as their estimated percentage of defective products against the factory’s specification of the steel bars. b.
