    Question 1: Hypothesis Testing (7 points, 1 point each)
    The average performance of the statistical analysis course in UD is claimed to be 70 percent. To confirm the claim, the University took a samples of 30 students who took the course in the past and their marks are reported in the tables below (for respective group analysis): Sample For Group E:
    72,73,66,72,70,74,69,67,75,78,65,73,70,67,71,74,69,72,70,76,67,71,74,69,73,72,70,75,73,71
    Using the data assigned to your group undertake a hypothesis testing (at 0.05 level of significance) to determine whether the claim is true or not clearly showing all the steps below:
    State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses
    Specify the desired level of significance, and state the sample size.
    Determine the appropriate test statistic (Z-distribution or t-distribution) and state why.
    Determine the critical values, for a = 0.05
    Compute the test statistic from your sample.
    Is the test statistic calculated in the acceptance or the rejection region (show it graphically)?
    Make a decision and interpret the results.
    Question 2: Regression Analysis (13 points: 2 + 2+ 3 + 3 + 3)
    Use the house data, (available on Moodle) to
    answer the following questions:

  • Exploratory Data Analysis: Understanding Sales and Call Center Performance Title: Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals in Sales Performance

    Exploratory Data Analysis (Part A)
    Introduction
    Your instructor will provide you with a data file that includes data on five variables:
    SALES represents the number of sales made this week.
    CALLS represents the number of sales calls made this week.
    TIME represents the average time per call this week.
    YEARS represents years of experience in the call center.
    TYPE represents the type of training the employee received.
    Part A: Exploratory Data Analysis
    Preparation
    Open the files for the course project and the data set.
    For each of the five variables, process, organize, present and summarize the data. Analyze each variable by itself using graphical and numerical techniques of summarization. Use Excel as much as possible, explaining what the results reveal. Some of the following graphs may be helpful: stem-leaf diagram, frequency/relative frequency table, histogram, boxplot, dotplot, pie chart, bar graph. Caution: not all of these are appropriate for each of these variables, nor are they all necessary. More is not necessarily better. In addition be sure to find the appropriate measures of central tendency, the measures of dispersion, and the shapes of the distributions (for the quantitative variables) for the above data. Where appropriate, use the five number summary (the Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max). Once again, use Excel as appropriate, and explain what the results mean.
    Analyze the connections or relationships between the variables. There are ten possible pairings of two variables. Use graphical as well as numerical summary measures. Explain the results of the analysis. Be sure to consider all 10 pairings. Some variables show clear relationships, while others do not.
    Report Requirements
    From the variable analysis above, provide the analysis and interpretation for three individual variables. This would include no more than 1 graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), the shapes of the distributions for quantitative variables, and two or three sentences of interpretation.
    For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. Please note that at least one pairing must include a qualitative variable and at least one pairing must not include a qualitative variable.
    Prepare the report in Microsoft Word, integrating graphs and tables with text explanations and interpretations. Be sure to include graphical and numerical back up for the explanations and interpretations. Be selective in what is included in the report to meet the requirements of the report without extraneous information.
    All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.
    Project Part A report is due by the end of Week 2.
    Project Part A is worth 100 total points. See grading rubric below.

    1. Mean sales per week exceed 42.5 per salesperson
    2. Proportion receiving online training is less than 55%
    3 Mean calls made among those with no training is at least 145
    4. Mean time per call is 14.7 minutes
    Using the same data set from part A, perform the hypothesis test for each speculation in order to see if there is evidence to support the manager’s belief. Use the Eight Steps of a Test of Hypothesis from Section 9.1 of your text book as a guide. You can use either the p-value or the critical values to draw conclusions. Be sure to explain your conclusion and interpret that to the claim in simple terms
    Compute 99% confidence intervals for the variables used in each hypothesis test, and interpret these intervals.
    Write a report about the results, distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not know statistics. Clear explanations and interpretations are critical.
    All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.

  • Title: “Analyzing Descriptive Statistics in Dissertation Critique: A Comparison of Reported Findings and Recommended Practices”

    Steps to complete this homework:
    Imagine you are the author of the attached DISSERTATION #1 (focus on pages 38-65). What would you have reported in your dissertation after learning all descriptive statistics: mean, median, mode, SD, variance, Min, Max, Range, kurtosis, skewness, confidence intervals… In this assignment, I want to see how you use these concepts (as many as possible) in your dissertation critique.
    Specific Guidelines:
    Read CHAPTER 4 of the attached DISSERTATION #1 (pages 38-65, where population characteristics and questionnaires were analyzed) carefully to see how qualitative or quantitative variables/data were summarized.
    Choose only one of the scales (Multifactor
    Leadership Questionnaire -MLQ, cognitive operator competencies questionnaire – COCQ, senior
    leader competencies questionnaire – SLCQ, etc.) they used. 
    Discuss the variables and the reason/logic why those descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, median, mode, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, etc.) were chosen for summarizing those variables.
    Discuss the differences and similarities of how CHAPTER 4 is written compared to what should have been reported. Do you see any problems?
    Sections in attached PDF textbook to use for the comparison:
    Descriptive Statistics for Qualitative Data – PAGE 129
    Descriptive Statistics for Quantitative Data – PAGE 138
