BA 3010 ( BA 3010 Section 5: Data Analysis and Decision Making)

BA 301.01 Chapter 3 Homework      Identify  Q1) Examine the data set on the worksheet Q1. This should be familiar; you saw this data set in last week’s homework. Recall that this is a survey of 500 households. The definitions of the variables can be found by reading the comments (the little red triangles).             ExecuteQ2) Examine the data set in the worksheet Q2. This data set lists the 15 players on the 2015-2016 roster of the Los Angeles Lakers. The variables include the name, position, and salary for each player.   Create a side-by-side boxplot for Salary, broken out by Position. In other words, there should be 5 boxplots, one showing the distribution of salaries for those who play center, one showing the distribution of salaries for those who play point guard, and so on. Specifically, this should all be .     Q3) Examine again the data in sheet Q1 (there is no sheet Q3.) We would like to know if the size on one’s family has an effect on their income. Keeping in mind which is the explanatory variable and which is the response variable, create a scatterplot of the variables First_Income and Family Size. Be sure to include the correlation coefficient.     Q4) Who has been most likely to access the internet over the past decade? Consider the survey data collected from 1,000 randomly selected internet users, given in Q4. Create pivot tables to answer each of the following questions, and be sure to highlight your answer:   a) i. What proportion (percentage) of these internet users is currently employed? ii. What is the average salary of the employed internet users in this sample? b) What proportion (percentage) of these internet users is single with no formal education beyond the high school? c) What proportion (percentage) of these internet users are men the age of 30?               Interpret  Q5) Interpret the following. What do you learn? What conclusions can you draw?   In May of 2008, a study was published examining CEO compensation (salary and bonus.) In last week’s homework, you viewed a boxplot of the distribution of compensation, as well as summary measures. Here is the same data, now broken out by company type (there were 10 different company types surveyed: from Basic Materials to Utilities). Side-by-side boxplots are on the next page. Again, what can you conclude?           Q6) Interpret the graph shown below. What can you conclude about the relationship between these two variables? This is from the data set shown in sheet Q2.   Correlation: 0.605 

ADMIN group project

 Length 5 pages   You have just been appointed to assist the new court administrator for a medium-sized court system with approximately 75 employees and 5 full-time courts. This is a new position for the courts. In the past, each individual court has primarily managed itself, except for the employee hiring process, which was completed through the County Human Resource Division. Upon taking your post, you quickly find out that none of the courts seem to be willing to cooperate with each other—or, for that matter, any of the other various county offices, such as the County Clerk’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office. Rumors and gossip about mismanagement abound, and the communications process between the five courts appears to be at a standstill. The courts currently have a huge backlog of cases awaiting trial, and in addition, employee morale is low and the turnover rate is high. The new administrator has asked that you form a team to brainstorm ideas on how to address these issues.In your groups, discuss how you would respond to these organizational problems and the following points:

Two Population Means

   The farmer had taken statistics many years ago when in college and consequently made a couple of mistakes when testing to find if the new fertilizer was more effective:(1) He tested the data as two independent samples, and (2) He performed a two-tailed test. He decided that he was unable to conclude that there was a difference between the two fertilizers. What if you were the fertilizer sales representative and your job was to prove the superiority of the new product to the farmer? You should start by running the same test he did in which he came to the decision that he could not conclude a difference. Perform the test as it should have been done and find if you come to a different conclusion. Explain why the results were different and why your test was a stronger and more reliable test.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Protecting Children From Media

For his 10th birthday, Greg was given a handheld videogame system. His parents allowed him to pick any two games. They knew the games might contain violence, because there was a violence rating sign posted on the games, but rationalized that they were only games and other kids play them. Greg would quickly finish dinner and run up to his room to play his games.His parents were pleased to observe that Greg enjoyed their present so much. After a week, his parents noticed that he wasn’t turning off the videogames at bedtime, and had begun turning homework in late. He was up so late playing that he would not get up for school without argument. His parents decided that enough was enough and took the video games away. Greg threw temper tantrums and persuaded his parents to buy him a computer after convincing them that it was necessary to keep up at school. Greg soon returned to the same pattern of behavior where he spent long hours and late nights at the computer. This time, his parents felt a false sense of security that he was doing his homework. One day, his curious parents decided to scan the computer history to see what Web sites Greg was browsing. To their horror, they discovered that Greg was spending many hours online playing interactive, sometimes violently graphic, games on the Internet. He was also chatting with other “gamers”. Before confronting Greg about his behavior, his mother and father agreed to investigate what types of intervention strategies might be available within their community. They have come to you, a behavioral consultant, for advice.Describe the issue of exposure to videogame violence in today’s society as related to Greg’s situation. Explore issues such as:By , format your paper in APA (6th edition) style, using information you learned in your textbook and from the Kaiser Family Foundation Study to support your response.  Your paper should be between 4 and 5 pages in length.
