〖CD〗_j=∑_(i=1)^4▒{ (I_ij-I_iDE )^2/V_i}/4 CDj is the cultural distance between the host country and the home country (in this case Germany). The I’s are the scores on the ith cultural dimensions from Hofstede‚ so in this case the four scores for PD‚ UAV‚ IND and MAS. Vi is the variance of the score of this dimensions.

was to investigate the effect of varying the distance (cm) of the Elodea plant from the light source at (5‚ 15‚ 25‚ 35 and 45 (cm)) (±0.05) on the photosynthetic rate by counting the number of oxygen bubbles rising up the test tube per minute (bubbles min^(-1)). The hypothesis was supported because as the light intensity increased‚ the rate at which oxygen bubbles rising to the top of the test tube also increased – for example‚ at the closest distance of 5 cm‚ the rate of photosynthesis was at its
