As a member of the international strategic management team in your company, you are assigned the task of exploring potential foreign market entry. As part of your initial investigation, you want to know if there is a difference between developed markets and emerging markets with respect to the time required to start a business. You select 15 developed countries and 15 emerging countries. The time required to start a business, defined as the number of days needed to complete the procedures to legally operate a business in these countries, is stored in ForeignMarket

1. Assuming that the population variances for developed countries and emerging countries are unknown and equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean time required to start a business between developed countries and emerging countries? (Use alpha = 5%).
2. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning
3. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (A)

Kindly provide step by step solution for excel with the conclusion.

Which of the following are properties of the phage library used by researchers to identify "Area Codes" of specific tissues? There is one correct answer.

Assume that an individual wins a lottery. Assume also that the individual was working before the lottery win and had no other nonlabor income before the lottery win.

a) Using the basic static model of individual labour supply, discuss both graphically and explain in your own words how the lottery win will affect the individual’s level of hours worked. Discuss all relevant effects.

b) Is it possible that the individual decides to stop working following the lottery win? In your answer discuss the concept of reservation wages and add the individual’s reservation wage before and after the lottery win to your graph.

Question 5 (1 point)

A student at a university wants to determine if the proportion of students that use iPhones is less than 0.46. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows. Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.46, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.46. If the student takes a random sample of students and calculates a p-value of 0.8906 based on the data, what is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance.

Question 6 (1 point)

You hear on the local news that for the city of Kalamazoo, the proportion of people who support President Trump is 0.37. However, you think it is greater than 0.37. The hypotheses you want to test are Null Hypothesis: p ≤ 0.37, Alternative Hypothesis: p > 0.37. You take a random sample around town and calculate a p-value for your hypothesis test of 0.9793. What is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance.

Question 8 options:

1. Alicia received dividends on her stocks as follows.

Qualified Dividends

—Steinlager (a New Zealand corp. whose stock is traded               on an established US securities market) $45,000

—Star Inc, a Virginia Corp   11,000

She purchased the Blaze stock 15 days before it went ex-dividend and sold it 20 days later at a $28,000 loss. Alicia had no other capital gains and losses for the year. She is in the 32% marginal tax bracket. Compute Alicia’s tax on her dividend income. Also, will she be able to deduct the entire capital loss from the Blaze stock?
