Further, she replicates her study and collects data from 122 students from a rival
university. She derives the residuals followed by computing skewness (S) equals -1.25
and kurtosis (K) equals 8.25 for the rival university data. Conduct the Jacque-Bera test
of normality at a = 0.05.

After the reopening of borders with mainland China following the COVID-19 lockdown, residents living near the border now have the option to shop for food on either side. In Hong Kong, the cost of food is at its listed price, while across the border in mainland China, the price is only half that of Hong Kong's. A recent report indicates a decline in food sales in Hong Kong post-reopening. ** Diagrams need not be to scale; Focus on accurately representing the relevant concepts and relationships rather than the exact proportions. (a) Using a diagram, explain why Hong Kong's food sales might have dropped after the border reopening. Assume that consumers are indifferent between purchasing food in Hong Kong or mainland China, and therefore, their indifference curves have a slope of one like below. Additionally, consider that there are no transport costs and the daily food budget for consumers is identical whether they shop in Hong Kong or mainland China.

- 2. Suppose that a farmer has two ways to produce his crop. He can use a low-polluting technology with the marginal cost curve MCL or a high polluting technology with the marginal cost curve MCH. If the farmer uses the high-polluting technology, for each unit of quantity produced, one unit of pollution is also produced. Pollution causes pollution damages that are valued at $E per unit. The good produced can be sold in the market for $P per unit. P 1 MCH 0 Q₁ MCL Q2 E a. b. C.
