7. Below are research scenarios. For each, indicate whether the researcher committee a Type 1 error, a Type 2 error, or no error in hypothesis testing

(a) Assume there is a strong, positive relationship between variable X (number of hours per week a child reads for pleasure) and variable Y (language arts scores in the classroom) in the population of 3rd grade students in the United States. As with any educational study, researchers investigating the relationship between X and Y are not aware of the true relationship in the population, so researchers must conduct studies with samples and then use inferential statistics to make decisions whether to reject the null hypothesis (Ho: There is no relationship between X and Y) or fail to reject the null hypothesis. A local researcher wishes to study the relationship between X and Y and he samples 3rd grade students from Bulloch County. After collecting relevant data, the researcher finds no relationship between X and Y and therefore fails to rejects the null hypothesis. The local researcher infers there is no relationship between X and Y in the population of 3rd grade students in the United States.

(b) A researcher found a statistically insignificant difference between group means. If the researcher committed an error in hypothesis testing, which error is possible?

(c) A researcher found a statistically significant relationship between perceived autonomy and job satisfaction. If the researcher committed an error in hypothesis testing, which error is possible?

Phoenix-based CompTronics 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: Sales $ 3,608,000 Variable costs 902,000 Fixed costs 2,250,000 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. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

2. Determine the break-even point in speaker sets if operations are shifted to Mexico. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer up to nearest whole number.)

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? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

b. If fixed costs remain constant, by how much must unit variable cost change? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Research the differences between United States and Saudi Arabian contracts with regard to consideration, capacity and illegal purposes.

Respond to at least one of your classmates' postings.

Also, there is answer for a student that requires a response:
Contract administration guidelines for public infrastructure projects in the United States and Saudi Arabia:
International construction, where contractors perform works in foreign countries, poses cultural and contractual risks resulting from the dissimilarities in social and legal outlooks. One of the major risks that leads to disputes in such international projects is poor contract administration. Research has been focused toward the cultural risks and ex-post dispute resolution in international construction, missing the important ex-ante dispute avoidance aspect. This paper addresses this knowledge gap with a special focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which is the largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa. The paper does so by providing in-depth—yet practical—contract administration guidelines for U.S.
