Please give examples of variables that can be analyzed and hypotheses that can be tested using T-tests, Chi-Square, and correlation analysis.   

Be sure to define the variables, their levels of measurement, and the appropriate statistical test.   

Example: 

T-test: difference between mean cholesterol levels of obese and non-obese individuals. Cholesterol level is a continuous variable, and obesity is a dichotomous variable (obesity yes/no).   

Chi Square: Is there a relationship between oral contraceptive use and infertility? Both variables are dichotomous: oral contraceptive use yes/no, infertility yes/no.   

Correlation: Is fiber intake inversely related to fat intake? Both fat intake and fiber intake are continuous and are expressed in grams.

Using Hofstede's Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience. 

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Risk Assessment Report
Once your proposed threat/disturbance is validated, you will be able to start your risk assessment. This will be conducted against the indications of the ISO31000 and AS/NZS5050, which set the standard quality expected in risk management. In particular, to convince the CSIRO of the quality of your assessment, you will need to demonstrate a systematic application of the risk assessment process (as per ISO31000), with solid and evidence-based analysis and evaluation of the risks associated with the identified threat/disturbance. Your proposed risk treatment strategies will need to be based on solid evidence and take into account the interests of the different stakeholders involved in the UAV Challenge. The CSIRO also expects you to draft and present your report in a highly professional way.
