Suppose an industrial/organizational psychologist is interested in the relationships between job satisfaction, job performance, and job compensation. She has data from five different countries on the average monthly salaries paid to firefighters. She begins her analysis by converting all of the salary data into US dollars:

The table is not given in the question. The table is as follows :

Country      Average monthly          Standard deviation       Original currency

                   salary (U.S. dollars)       (U.S. dollars)  

Czech Republic$1,059                  $158.80                          koruna

United States         $4,141                  $1,242.20                  dollar

The answer is ROMANIA.

A computer programmer will prefer a salary which has higher relative value, so a computer programmer who is from Romania will be most pleased with the offer, as the salary of $1,500 per month for Romania corresponds to the highest Z-score.

The z scores are :

Country                         Z-Scores

Czech Republic          2.77

Latvia                          5.98
