In the US, fluoride is added to drinking water. In 2015, the US Department of Health [12] lowered the recommended amount of fluoride in drinking water. Fluoride is added to drinking water to help prevent tooth decay, but too much fluoride can lead to fluorosis (white stains in the enamel of the teeth). A particular city wants to check whether their drinking water meets the specifications made by the department of health. The department of health recommends that there should be 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water. Suppose we collect a random sample of 40 different liters of water and find the the average amount of fluoride per liter of water is 0.775 milligrams with standard deviation 0.2 milligrams. Conduct a hypothesis test using α = .01. Make sure to state the null and alternative hypotheses, state the appropriate test statistic, set up the rejection region, find the P-value for this test, make your conclusion using both the rejection region method and the P-value, and state your conclusion in the context of the problem. Also, find a 99% confidence interval for the true average amount of fluoride per liter of water and use this interval to make a conclusion about the test of hypothesis.

A US electronics firm has a plant in the US and another in China. The production function is the same in both plants q = L1 2 K 1 2 (notice that marginal product of labor is MPL = 1 2L− 1 2 K 1 2 = 1 2 q L and marginal product of capital is MPK = 1 2L1 2 K− 1 2 = 1 2 q K ). The US prices are w = r = 9. In China the firm faces the same cost of capital r∗ = 9 but the wage rate is lower, w∗ = 4.
A.Show the total, average and marginal product of labor with this production function if capital is fixed at K = 100
B.
C.Represent in a diagram the cost minimizing choice of factors to produce q = 100 in each country
D.Write the equilibrium proportions of the factors that the firm is going to use in each country.
E. Write the expressions for cost, obtain the relationships factorsoutput and deduce the cost functions for both countries. Calculate the cost of producing q = 100 units in each country.
