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. At this point in your efforts, you notice that both Guatemala and Costa Rica have some very low and very high values? Which measure of central tendency is most susceptible to such extreme values?
2. Given your answers to Questions #5 and #7, you are interested in extending the idea that respondents from Latin American countries that are closer to the United States have a higher mean duration of stay than respondents from Latin American countries that are further away. Which country would you expect to have the lowest mean duration of stay during first U.S. migration?
3. Which of the three countries has the lowest mean duration? Does this support your idea that respondents from Latin American countries that are closer to the United States have a higher mean duration of stay than respondents from Latin American countries that are further away?
4. For each country, identify the direction in which (if any) the distribution is skewed? Provide specific evidence using your answers from the previous questions.
5. Select one country from Question #11 and illustrate your conclusion graphically using the histogram. On your graph, be sure to highlight the mode, median, and the mean.
6. Construct box-whisker plot for each country separately. Interpret your findings.

Houston-based Advanced Electronics manufactures audio speakers for desktop computers. The following data relate to the period just ended when the company produced and sold 44,000 speaker sets:

Management is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities to northern Mexico to reduce costs. Variable costs are expected to average $18.00 per set; annual fixed costs are anticipated to be $1,988,000. (In the following requirements, ignore income taxes.)

Required:
1. Calculate the company’s current income and determine the level of dollar sales needed to double that figure, assuming that manufacturing operations remain in the United States.
2. Determine the break-even point in speaker sets if operations are shifted to Mexico.
3. Assume that management desires to achieve the Mexican break-even point; however, operations will remain in the United States.
a. If variable costs remain constant, by how much must fixed costs change?
b. If fixed costs remain constant, by how much must unit variable cost change?
4. Determine the impact (increase, decrease, or no effect) of the following operating changes.

Calculate the company’s current income and determine the level of dollar sales needed to double that figure, assuming that manufacturing operations remain in the United States. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

Assume that management desires to achieve the Mexican break-even point; however, operations will remain in the United States.

a. If variable costs remain constant, by how much must fixed costs change? (Round your intermediate unit calculations to the nearest whole number and round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

b. If fixed costs remain constant, by how much must unit variable cost change? (Round your intermediate unit calculations to the nearest whole number and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
