1. United Health Group leased a life support machine on January 1, 2018, for a three-year period ending December 31, 2020. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $144,000 beginning with the first payment at the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2019. The company had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2020, for $180,000 when its fair value was expected to be $240,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. The machine's estimated useful life was six years with no salvage value. United Health was aware that the lessor's implicit rate of return was 12%.

A random sample of respondents was drawn from three Latin American countries: Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. The variable if interest is the duration (in months) of stay in the United States during a respondent’s first migration to the United States.

Nicaragua: 4, 6, 6, 6, 12, 36, 36, 36, 36, 60, 72, 78, 96, 120, 126, 156, 162, 162, 186, 540
Guatemala: 1, 1, 12, 24, 24, 24, 36, 36, 42, 60, 78, 84, 102, 102, 102, 102,132, 144
Costa Rica: 12, 12, 12, 12, 14, 15, 15, 18, 18, 24, 36, 48, 66, 120, 150, 150, 174, 282, 288

1. Specify the level of measure for the variable of interest here. That is, what is the level of measurement of duration of stay during first U.S. migration?
2. Explain why the values of 12, 24, and 36 are so common in the data? What do these three values have in common?
3. Calculate the mode for Costa Rica.
4. How does the mode for Guatemala compare to that of Costa Rica?
5. In light of your answers to Questions #3 and #4, one explanation is that respondents from Latin American countries closer to the United States have a higher modal duration of stay during their first U.S. migration than respondents from Latin American countries that are further away. Does the evidence from Nicaragua support this idea? (Hint: examine a map of Latin America to see whether you would expect the mode for Nicaragua to be greater than or less than that for Costa Rica and Guatemala.)
6. Given your answer to Question #5, you are interested in extending this idea to the value of the median. Which country would you expect to have the highest median duration of stay in the United States during first U.S. migration?

Which of the three countries above has the highest median value? Does this support your idea that respondents from Latin American countries that are closer to the United States have a higher median duration of stay in the United States during their first migration than respondents from Latin American countries that are further away?
