1. Data: one of the variables is dependent and other dependent. Can be multiple. Then do regression analysis. ANOVA for overall significance and Regression equation. And write based on ANOVA there is a significance or not. 2. Some comments on correlation: volume vs. horse power etc. 3. Hypothesis test of one population. I assume that the mean is etc etc. Small paragraph analysis below the results of the test. ANOVA for small, large and medium size businesses for example.

    ...hypothesis testing of two samples that had two means. The reason why the choice of testing of two samples means were because it compared the two sets of data that are directly related to each other. The reason why I believed that rural homes have a lower average of beds due to the fact that rural areas are the countryside rather than the big known towns or towns of the state. The population that my data set represents was the number of beds that the in-patients had in each of the homes between non-rural home and rural home facilities. The reason why the data was collected was because the Department of Health and Social Services of the State of New Mexico and cover 60 licensed nursing facilities in New Mexico in 1988. The methods that were used to collect the data was by the number of beds that were used in the home, annual medical in patient days (hundreds), annual total patient days (hundreds), annual total patient care revenue ($hundreds), annual nursing salaries ($hundreds), annual facilities expenditures ($hundred), and where the home was located between non-rural and rural areas. The source of the data set of the nursing home information toward New Mexico in 1988 was part of the data analyzed by Howard L. Smith, Niell F. Piland, and Nancy Fisher. This was published in the Journal of Rural Health in winter 1992. This data set can be calculated in four different types of...

    ... Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics, Estimation, Regression & Correlation Treatment Effects of a Drug on Cognitive Functioning in Children with Mental Retardation and ADHD Hossam Elhowary MATH-1016-15 Dr. Maria DeLucia December 09, 2014 Introduction The purpose of this survey was to investigate the cognitive effects of stimulant medication in children with mental retardation and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Twenty four children were given various dosage of a drug a placebo and 0.60mg/kg. Variable descriptions are kind of drug taken and the number of correct responses after taking of the drug. They were on each dose one week before testing. This sample obtained from the preschool delay task of Gordon Diagnostic System (Gordon, 1983). However, does higher dosage lead to higher cognitive performance? Histogram: Box-and-whisker plot: Multi plot: Summary statistics: Column n Mean Variance Std. dev. Std. err.

    ...than ever. Many organisations employ operations research or management science personnel or consultants to apply the principles of scientific management to problems and decision making. In this module we focus on a number of useful models and techniques that can be used in the decision making process. Two important themes run through the study guide: data analysis and decision making techniques. Firstly we look at data analysis. This approach starts with data that are manipulated or processed into information that is valuable to decision making. The processing and manipulation of raw data into meaningful information are the heart of data analysis. Data analysis includes data description, data inference, the search for relationships in data and dealing with uncertainty which in turn includes measuring uncertainty and modelling uncertainty explicitly. In addition to data analysis, other decision making techniques are discussed. These techniques include decision analysis, project scheduling and network models. Chapter 1 illustrates a number of ways to summarise the information in data sets, also known as descriptive statistics. It includes graphical and tabular summaries, as well as summary measures such as means, medians and standard deviations. Uncertainty is a key aspect of most business...

    ...Random Sampling Method. In this case study, Mr Kwok collected a random sample of 1000 flights and proportions of three routes in the sample. He divides them into different sub-groups such as satisfaction, refreshments and departure time and then selects proportionally to highlight specific subgroup within the population. The reasons why Mr Kwok used this sampling method are that the cost per observation in the survey may be reduced and it also enables to increase the accuracy at a given cost. TABLE 1: Data Summaries of Three Routes Route 1 Route 2 Route 3 Normal(88.532,5.07943) Normal(97.1033,5.04488) Normal(107.15,5.15367) Summary Statistics Mean 88.532 Std Dev 5.0794269 Std Err Mean 0.2271589 Upper 95% Mean 88.978306 Lower 95% Mean 88.085694 N 500 Sum 44266 Summary Statistics Mean 97.103333 Std Dev 5.0448811 Std Err Mean 0.2912663 Upper 95% Mean 97.676525 Lower 95% Mean 96.530142 N 300 Sum 29131 Summary Statistics Mean 107.15 Std Dev 5.1536687 Std Err Mean 0.3644194 Upper 95% Mean 107.86862 Lower 95% Mean 106.43138 N 200 Sum 21430 From the table above, the total number of passengers for route 1 is 44,266, route 2 is 29,131 and route 3 is 21,430 and the total numbers of passengers for 3 routes are 94,827.

    ...Statistics 1 Business Statistics LaSaundra H. – Lancaster BUS 308 Statistics for Managers Instructor Nicole Rodieck 3/2/2014 Statistics 2 When we hear about business statistics, when think about the decisions that a manager makes to help make his/her business successful. But do we really know what it takes to run a business on a statistical level? While some may think that business statistics is too much work because it entails a detailed decision making process that includes calculations, I feel that without educating yourself on the processes first you wouldn’t know how to imply statistics. This is a tool managers will need in order to run a successful business. In this paper I will review types of statistical elements like: Descriptive, Inferential, hypothesis development and testing and the evaluation of the results. Also I will discuss what I have learned from business statistics. My description of Descriptive statistics is that they are the numerical elements that make up a data that can refer to an amount of a categorized description of an item such as the percentage that asks the question, “How many or how much does it take to “ and the outcome numerical amount. According to “Dr. Ashram’s Statistics site” “The quantities most commonly used to measure the dispersion of the...

    ...Trajico, Maria Liticia D. BSEd III-A2 REFLECTION The first thing that puffs in my mind when I heard the word STATISTIC is that it was a very hard subject because it is another branch of mathematics that will make my head or brain bleed of thinking of how I will handle it. I have learned that statistic is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of information that is expressed in numbers, for example information about the number of times something happens. As I examined on what the statement says, the phrase “number of times something happens” really caught my attention because my subconscious says “here we go again the non-stop solving, analyzing of problems” and I was right. This course of basic statistic has provided me with the analytical skills to crunch numerical data and to make inference from it. At first I thought that I will be alright all along with this subject but it seems that just some part of it maybe it is because I don’t pay much of my attention to it but I have learned many things. I have learned my lesson. During our every session in this subject before having our midterm examination I really had hard and bad times in coping up with this subject. When we have our very first quiz I thought that I would fail it but it did not happen but after that, my next quizzes I have taken I failed. I was always feeling down when in every quiz I failed because even though I don’t...
