CompetencyIn this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:Apply statistical techniques to address research problemsPerform hypothesis testing to address an authentic problemOverviewIn this project, you will apply inference methods for means to test your hypotheses about the housing sales market for a region of the United States. You will use appropriate sampling and statistical methods.ScenarioYou have been hired by your regional real estate company to determine if your region’s housing prices and housing square footage are significantly different from those of the national market. The regional sales director has three questions that they want to see addressed in the report:Are housing prices in your regional market higher than the national market average?Is the square footage for homes in your region different than the average square footage for homes in the national market?For your region, what is the range of values for the 95% confidence interval of square footage for homes in your market?You are given a real estate data set that has houses listed for every county in the United States. In addition, you have been given national statistics and graphs that show the national averages for housing prices and square footage. Your job is to analyze the data, complete the statistical analyses, and provide a report to the regional sales director.

Do you support the WTO’s decision or not? Why do you support it or not?

Nicaragua wants to export banana to USA that are genetically modified (GM). However, USA want Nicaragua to produce non-GM bananas as GM products do not align with the idea of organic and sustainable cultural mindset of the US citizens. However, that is not very profitable for Nicaragua as these Non-GM bananas are less resistant to pests and are more costly to produce. Thus, the USA does not want to trade bananas with Nicaragua. When this issue is brought in front of the WTO, the WTO decided that US domestic policy is not aligning with global efficiency. Please discuss your thoughts regarding the issue. When discussing, please mention the following.Do you support the WTO’s decision or not? Why do you support it or not?Do you think efficiency from free trade is more important OR less important than culture, sentiment, prosperity, and beliefs across countries?Note: Please complete your answer based on your reading and understanding of the video based on the link below. You can cite outside materials, but they should not be the only base for your answer.https://www.coursehero.com/study-guides/wmopen-introductiontobusiness/global-trade-agreements-and-organizations/
