When was the last time you read Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Several Steps in my Sickness—Meditation XVII?

Unless you are a student of 17th-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece by author John Donne. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island.”

As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.

Many reasons for why the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union have been proposed. A common one is that imports from the EU hurt low-skilled British workers. Suppose that there are two industries, financial services and manufacturing. Further assume that there are two factors of production, low- skilled and high-skilled workers, and that finance is high-skill intensive and manufacturing is low-skill intensive. Further assume that the United Kingdom is abundant in high-skill labour.

a) Show using the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade how relative wages for low-skilled and high-skilled workers are determined when the UK is a member of the EU (i.e. when there is free trade between the UK and the rest of the EU). Explain your answer.

b) Now suppose that the UK leaves the EU. For simplicity, we will model this as autarky (i.e. that all trade between the UK and the EU stops). How do real wages of low-skilled and high-skilled workers change (remember that the UK is abundant in high-skilled labour)? Explain your answer.

If the scores of a group of students who are high in academic achievement (10 individuals) on the academic self-  
efficacy scale are as follows:

120-122-117-102-125-120-108-111-110-115

The scores of a group of students with low academic achievement (12 individuals) on the academic self-effectiveness scale are as follows:

72-69-72-75-77-80-68-75-77-87-70-85

Using spss, how to test the following hypothesis:
There are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample individuals on the academic self-efficacy scale due to the difference in the achievement level of the students (high - low).
