  5. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 1 Language FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Discussion 1-1/Language Numbers and measurements are the language of business. Organizations look at results in many ways: expenses, quality levels, efficiencies, time, costs, etc. What measures does your department keep track of? Are they descriptive or inferential data, and what is the difference between these? (Note: If you do not have a job where measures are available to you, ask someone you know for some examples, or conduct outside research on an interest of yours, or use personal measures.)

  6. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 1 Performance Report (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com You are the manager at a company and are asked to present a report on the year-to-date performance of your division. What type of statistical information would you include in your report? In particular, which descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, etc.) do you think would best represent the main aspects of the performance of your division? What types of graphical presentation (histogram, dot plot, stem-and-leaf, bar chart, etc.) would you include? Explain your reasoning

  7. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 2 Probability FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Things vary in life – virtually nothing (except physical standards such as the speed of light) we interact with is constant over time. Much of this variation follows somewhat predictable patterns that can be examined using probability. An example of a subjective probability is: “Cops usually do not patrol this road, so I can get away with speeding.” An empirical probability example is: “Each production run has a 5% reject rate.” A classical (or theoretical) probability example is: “This die has six sides, so I should see the number 2 come up 1/6th of the time.”

  8. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 2 The Empirical Rule vs. Chebyshev Theorem (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com The Empirical Rule vs. Chebyshev’s TheoremDiscuss how the Empirical Rule works and how it relates to the bell curve as illustrated in Figure 3.14 (a). Then, explain Chebyshev’s Theorem and how it is different from the Empirical Rule. Give a specific example of a population with which the Empirical Rule might be most effective and one with which Chebyshev’s Theorem might be most effective. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

  9. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 1 Problem Set FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com 1. For assistance with these calculations, see the Recommended Resources for Week One. Measurement issues. Data, even numerically code variables, can be one of 4 levels – nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impacts the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list, under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group..

  14. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 1 Hypotheses FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Discussion 2-1/Hypotheses What is a hypothesis test? Why do we need to use them to make decisions about relating sample results to the population; why can’t we just make our decisions by the sample value?

  15. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 1 Relative Frequency (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Relative Frequency. Conceptually we would expect the probability of newborn males and females to be the same. However, census reports indicate that the ratios of males and females in various countries do not conform to the theoretical prediction. What do you think accounts for this variation? Can you think of other cases where the expected probabilities do not quite agree with the empirical values?

  16. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 2 Applications for Probability (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Applications for Probability. In what situations might you use probability as a manager to approach business-related problems? What are the advantages to using probability concepts in business decisions? Are there any disadvantages or possible pitfalls to avoid in using probability in business?

  17. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 2 Variation FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Variation exists in virtually all parts of our lives. We often see variation in results in what we spend (utility costs each month, food costs, business supplies, etc.). Consider the measures and data you use (in either your personal or job activities). When are differences (between one time period and another, between different production lines, etc.) between average or actual results important? How can you or your department decide whether or not the observed differences over time are important? How could using a mean difference test

  23. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 1 ANOVA FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com In many ways, comparing multiple sample means is simply an extension of what we covered last week. Just as we had 3 versions of the t-test (1 sample, 2 sample (with and without equal variance), and paired; we have several versions of ANOVA – single factor, factorial (called 2-factor with replication in Excel), and within- subjects (2-factor without replication in Excel).

  24. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 1 Unscientific Sampling (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Unscientific Sampling. Consider question 7.45 from the text: A Milwaukee television station, WITI-TV, conducted a telephone call-in survey asking whether viewers liked the new newspaper, the Journal Sentinel. On April 26, 1995, Tim Cuprisin, a columnist for the Journal Sentinel, wrote the following comment: “WITI-TV (Channel 6) did one of those polls—which they admit are unscientific—last week and found that 388 viewers like the new Journal Sentinel and 2,629 didn’t like it. We did our own unscientific poll on whether those Channel 6 surveys accurately reflect public opinion. The results: a full 100 percent of the respondents?

  25. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 2 Article Review (Ash Course) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Article Review. Many articles present statistical data and list margins of error (for example, reports on political opinion polls, growth or decline of the housing markets, manufacturing sectors, etc.). Find one such article from a reliable source (such as EBSCO or Proquest) in the online library that includes a construction of confidence intervals for the data studied, and give a summary of the topic and the statistical results presented.

  30. fdfdsfsd BUS 308 Week 4 DQ 1 Confidence Intervals FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.bus308outlet.com Discussion 4-1/Confidence Intervals Many people do not “like” or “trust” single point estimates for things they need measured. Looking back at the data examples you have provided in the previous discussion questions on this issue, how might adding confidence intervals help managers accept the results better? Why? Ask a manger in your organization if they would prefer a single point estimate or a range for important measures, and why? Please share what they say.

Your company has received complaints from customers that the containers hold less than the amount printed on them. On the other hand, corporate management is concerned that the containers hold more than the standard amount. You assign a statistician to verify these claims. A sample of containers was selected and the volume of paint in each container was measured. Assuming that the volume printed on each container is 1 gallon, how would you formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test the customers’ claim? As a manager, what reasonable criteria will you use to set a value for the level of

Question : The goodness of fit test null hypothesis states that the sample data does not match an expected distribution. Question 2. Question : Statistical significance in the Chi-square test means the population distribution (expected) is not the source of the sample (observed) data. Question 3. Question : While rejecting the null hypothesis for the goodness of fit test means distributions differ, rejecting the null for the test of independence means the variables interact.
