· Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the Math, Reading, and Writing report card grades for the class. Determine if there is or is not a normal distribution for the Math, Reading, and Writing report card grades.…
In business, errors can be costly, especially in positions of power. It is crucial that anyone who is using any type of descriptive statistic understands the risk that could happen if even one number is off when dealing with a problem. The mean, variance, standard deviation, z-score, N, and n are all vital elements to the role descriptive statistics plays in the business world. From retail managers to supply chain managers, anyone can benefit from understanding and applying all six of these terms to everyday business life in order to produce a thriving economy and…
The sales rates are adjusted for differences in the property and the time of sale before being practical. A valuter uses sales comparison approach when there is accurate and complete data on comparable such as recent sales, similarity of comparables and stability of local market conditions, regional and nation economic factors (Appraisal Institute,…

There are many situations in business where populations are distributed normally; however, this is not always the case. Some examples of distributions that aren’t normal are incomes in a region that are skewed to one side and if you need to are looking at people’s ages but need to break them down to for men and women. We need a way to look at the frequency distributions of these examples. We can find them by using the Central Limit Theorem.…
1. The following is a sample data set. 10 8 8 6 5 What is the variance of this data set? a. 3.0 b. 3.8 c. 7.3 d. 7.4 Ref: CCT Study Guide Q7 2. An auditor should use a histogram in a quality audit to do which of the following? a) b) c) d) Provide objective evidence that the auditee uses statistical process control (SPC) Expose patterns that are normally difficult to detect Interpret data for a trend chart Create a stratified tally diagram…
* These histogram are clearly asymmetrical and the superimposed normal curve is a little bit do not fit to them well, infact the histogram are skewed to the right so the sample is non-normal distribution…
Probability is used in business to both evaluate financial and decision-making risk and to improve business performance. Business statistics is the science of making sound decisions in spite of uncertainty, and it may be applied to fields ranging from econometrics and financial analysis to auditing and market research. Statistical techniques play a significant role in business applications. Factors such as randomness, sample…

Companies use different methods of performance appraisal methods to identify strengths and weaknesses. Employees are conducted by several methods:…
The normal distribution is a very commonly occurring continuous probability distribution—a function that tells the probability that any real observation will fall between any two real limits or real numbers, as the curve approaches zero on either side. Normal distributions are extremely important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences for real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known (Casella and Berger, 2002). This essay will discuss the use of Normal Distribution in a business and in real life.…
State whether the following statement is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F). a) A statistic is a measurement that explains a characteristic of a population. b) Inferential statistics refer to methods or techniques used to make conclusion of a population based on sample information such as tables, graph, the mean, median, mode and etc. c) A researcher will use the F distribution to make an inference on the ratio between two population variances. d) To construct a 90% confidence interval for u, if a small sample was selected randomly from normal population with unknown variance, the t distribution is used. e) The significance level a is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. f) Non-parametric test is used when the data are not normally distributed and the sample size is less than 30. (6 marks) QUESTION 2 Differentiate briefly the following terms: a) Point and interval estimates. b) Type I Error and Type II Error. (4 marks) QUESTION 3 The lifetimes of certain electronic components are approximately normally distributed with mean of 1500 hours and a standard deviation of 200 hours. 100 sample units are…
Appraisal is the process of distinguishing records of continuing value, the record with no further value may be eliminated. Appraisal supports records management because, when carried out successfully, it will maintains the efficiency of departmental records management systems by limiting their contents to those records which are continuing value for business and archival purposes. Beside of to ensure that record has archival value is identified so that provision can be made for their preservation. Decisions about specific records are preceded by analysis of all records related to the organization and their function. This initial process will involve more collective effort for business and archival purposes, enlisting the expertise of The National Archives client managers, reviewers, and past and present business users.…
The next step after the completion of data collection is to organize the data into a meaningful form so that a trend, if any, emerging out of the data can be seen easily. One of the common methods for organizing data is to construct frequency distribution. Frequency distribution is an organized tabulation/graphical representation of the number of individuals in each category on the scale of measurement.[1] It allows the researcher to have a glance at the entire data conveniently. It shows whether the observations are high or low and also whether they are concentrated in one area or spread out across the entire scale. Thus, frequency distribution presents a picture of how the individual observations are distributed in the measurement scale.…
