1. Rosa Wilkins gives 30-minute therapeutic massages at a local gym. All of her Monday and Friday appointments are taken and she has a waiting list for those who would like to move their regular massage to the first or the last day in the week.

Background:

Increased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one result of Globalization, where companies take advantage of reduced barriers, opening of markets and increased focus on market driven economy and unrestricted trade. Governments have also increasingly offered foreign companies’ various incentives if they would set up a company in their country.

FDI has many advantages and disadvantages for both home and host countries. For many countries, FDI is a lifeline, an opportunity which they can‘t afford to miss. But for others it is more of a threat to the national sovereignty of the country in question.

Whatever the reason, it is obvious that FDI is a big part of international trade and the development of countries, industries, societies and Globalization in general,.

Questions / tasks:

1. Name three of the main benefits of FDI to both governments (home and host)
2. How will reduced focus on Globalization affect the future development of FDI?
3. What explains the strong position of developing countries when it comes to FDI?

In this exercise, you modify the History Grade application from this chapter’s Focus lesson. Use Windows to make a copy of the History Solution folder. Rename the copy History Solution-Functions. Open the History Solution.sln file contained in the History Solution-Functions folder. Modify the btnDisplay_Click procedure so that it uses two functions named GetGrade101 and GetGrade201 to get the appropriate grade; the procedure should then display the grade in the lblGrade control. Change the two independent Sub procedures to functions that return the appropriate grade to the statements that invoke them in the btnDisplay_Click procedure. Each function should contain a parameter that accepts the total points passed to it. Save the solution and then start and test the application.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 81 and standard deviation σ = 26. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) x is more than 60

(b) x is less than 110

(c) x is between 60 and 110

(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
