The correct answer is B) Corporate farming.

<em>The activity that contributed to rural poverty was corporate farming. </em>

Corporate farming is the agriculture activity that big private companies do. They have a economy of scale that allows competitive prices, distribution advantages and can cover many regions. These companies and the practices of corporate farming has contributed to rural poverty because local and small farmers don’t have the means of production to compete with the big farming companies. Neither the local farmers can offer the amount of product and the cheap prices that big companies can offer.

Por que existen grupos que se oponen a las maquilas que se instalan en las zonas francas?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Grupos sociales pueden tener varias razones para oponerse a las maquilas que se instalan en las zonas francas:

Consecuencias fiscales: una zona franca es un lugar donde a las empresas se les cobran menos impuestos. Estos menores impuestos significan una reducción del ingreso fiscal que reciben los gobiernos, y que podría ser invertido en servicios sociales como educación y salud.
Explotación laboral: además de los bajos impuestos, las zonas francas también atraen compañías por los bajos sueldos que pueden pagar a los trabajadores.
Protección a la industria nacional: muchas maquilas son sucursales de empresas manufactureras extranjeras, no nacionales, y para algunos grupos, la industria nacional debería tener preponderancia sobre la industria extranjera.

If a sample of people were asked how many hours of tv they watched in a typical week, what shape would the data distribution be

Delicious77 [7]

A sample of people and the number of hours they watch television in a typical week would take the shape of a data distribution of it being right-skewed.

<h3>What would be the shape of the distribution?</h3>

The shape of distribution that shows the number of hours that people watch television would have more values on the left side of the distribution. This is because people generally watch television with fewer hours in a week.

As a result, the shape of the distribution would be declared to be right skewed. This means that most of the data is on the left of the shape which gives the distribution an uneven shape. The mean will be to the left because of the higher values there.
