The University of Texas at Dallas Cultural Considerations in Israel Memo Culture impacts an audience’s perspective of your message and the information you are relaying. Therefore, you must consider cultural differences—language, expectations, tone, protocol, etc—to ensure that your audience understands your message.
For this assignment, write a memo (formatted as a memo, single-spaced, providing approximately 1–2 pages but no less) that addresses the scenario below.
Scenario: LOCATION: ISRAEL
Your company, Information Tech Strategies, provides IT services to large businesses and governments in several countries around the world. A market opportunity exists for your company to expand its business to several new countries. Your manager has asked you to serve on a team that will consider all aspects of communicating with the people in your country to gain this new business. You are asked to communicate, via a memo to the team’s leader Ms. Mallory Masters, on the cultural considerations (intercultural communication) that the company should consider for the company’s expansion. You must research the cultural standards for your assigned region, citing your sources with in-text and end-of-text citations in IEEE format.

Task 3: Answer the following:
As is the case around the world, we in Oman too are confronted with the unprecedented challenges posed
by the COVID-19 (Corona Virus) pandemic. Therefore, the teaching moved to online platforms, but some
students dislike the online learning for many reasons. Make a short survey among 30 students (male and
female) of “Do you prefer online learning or face-to-face learning” and take a screenshot of your work.
Fill your result in the following table:
Gender
(3 marks)
Male
Female
Face-to-face learning
Online learning
Based on your result. One student selected at random, find the probability that.
a. The student does prefer online learning given that he is a male.

Task 10: Answer the following:
An automobile company is looking for fuel additives that might increase gas mileage. Without additives,
their cars are known to average D mpg (miles per gallons) with a standard deviation of D/6 mpg on a road
trip from Muscat to Sur. The company now asks whether a new additive increases this value. In a study,
forty cars are sent on a road trip from Muscat to Sur. Suppose it turns out that the forty cars
averaged ̅ = ( + . ) mpg with the additive. Can we conclude from this result that the additive is
effective?
