The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released hourly wage figures
for various countries for workers in the manufacturing sector. The
hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and
$23.82 for the U.S. Assume that in all three countries, the
standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $4.00.
