  2. For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Part Two – Data Characteristics Read Lecture One on descriptive data and review the Employee Data . Be sure to familiarize yourself with the different variables shown on the Data tab. In this course, we will be using the Employee Data and statistical tools to answer a single research question: In our BUS308 company, are the males and females paid equally for equal work? Lecture One discusses different ways data values can be classified. In our data set for the equal pay for equal work assignment, students in the past have correctly identify the variable gender (coded M and F for male and female respectively) as nominal level data, but they often see gender1 (coded 0 and 1 for male and female respectively) as interval or ratio level data. Why? What could cause this wrong classification? What data do you use in your personal or professional lives that might suffer from not being correctly labeled/understood? Part Three –Descriptive Statistics Read Lecture Two on describing data sets and view The Role of Data & Analytics Today video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxroi4beKhE). Lecture Two discusses several different ways of summarizing a data set--central location, variability, etc. Often, business reports provide a mean or average value for some measure (such as average number of defects per production run). Why is the average alone not enough information to make informed judgements about the result? What other descriptive statistic should be included? Why? Can you illustrate this with an

  3. example from your personal or professional lives? (This should be started on Day 3.) Part Four – Probability Read Lecture Three on probability. Lecture Three introduces the idea of probability—a measure of how likely it is to get a particular outcome. Looking at outcomes as resulting from probabilities (somewhat random outcomes/selections) rather than fixed constants often changes the way we see things. How does considering the salary outcomes in our sample the result of a probabilistic sample rather than a completely accurate and precise reflection of the population change how we interpret the sample statistic outcomes? What results in your personal or professional lives could be viewed this way? What differences would this cause? Why? Your responses should be separated in the initial post, addressing each part individually, ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com DQ #2: Webliography Post a question that you had related to the material this week.

Distances are considered an example of which data scale? Question 9. The standard deviation of normally distributed data is equal to about 1/6 of the data set’s Question 10. Calculating the median requires data of at least what level? ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com DQ #1: Hypothesis Testing / T-tests / F-test Although the initial post is due on Day 5, you are encouraged to start working on it early, as it is a three-part discussion that should be completed in sequential order. Part One – Hypothesis Testing

  6. Read Lecture Four. Lecture Four starts out with the five-step procedure for hypothesis testing. What is this? What does it do for us? Why do we need to follow these steps in making a judgement about the populations our samples came from? What are the ―tricky‖ parts of developing appropriate hypotheses to test? What examples can you suggest where this process might be appropriate in your personal or professional lives? (This should be started on Day 1.) Part Two – T-tests Read Lecture Five. Lecture Five illustrates several t-tests on the data set. What conclusions can you draw from these tests about our research question on equal pay for equal work? What is missing from these results to give us a complete answer to the question? Why? (This should be started on Day 3.) Part Three – F-test Read Lecture Six. Lecture Six introduces you to the F-test for variance equality. Last week, we discussed how adding a variation measure to reports of means was a smart thing to do. Why does variation make our analysis of the equal pay for equal work question more complicated? What causes of variation impact salary that we have not discussed yet? How can you relate this issue to measures used in your personal or professional lives? (This should be completed by Day 5.) ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com

  7. Post a question that you had related to the material this week. Conduct research to provide the answer to the question and provide the source ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 2 Problem Set For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Before starting this assignment, make sure the the assignment data from the Employee Salary Data Set file is copied over to this Assignment file. You can do this either by a copy and paste of all the columns or by opening the data file, right clicking on the Data tab, selecting Move or Copy, and copying the entire sheet to this file (Weekly Assignment Sheet or whatever you are calling your master assignment file). It is highly recommended that you copy the data columns (with labels) and paste them to the right so that whatever you do will not disrupt the original data values and relationships. To Ensure full credit for each question, you need to show how you got your results. For example, Question 1 asks for several data values. If you obtain them using descriptive statistics, then the cells should have an "=XX" formula in them, where XX is the column and row number showing the value in the descriptive statistics table. If you choose to generate each value using fxfunctions, then each function should be

  8. located in the cell and the location of the data values should be shown. So, Cell D31 - as an example - shoud contain something like "=T6" or "=average(T2:T26)". Having only a numerical value will not earn full credit. The reason for this is to allow instructors to provide feedback on Excel tools if the answers are not correct - we need to see how the results were obtained. In starting the analysis on a research question, we focus on overall descriptive statistics and seeing if differences exist. Probing into reasons and mitigating factors is a follow-up activity. 1 The first step in and your compa-ratio information, what conclusions can you reach about equal pay for equal work? Why - what statistical results support this conclusion? ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 2 Quiz (3 Set) For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com BUS 308 Week 2 Quiz Question 1.

Which of the following defines statistical significance Question 10. If the p-value is greater than (>) our decision criteria, alpha, then we reject the null hypothesis claim of no difference. BUS 308 Week 2 Quiz Set 2 Question 1. Which statement is not true? Question 2. If the p-value is less than (<) our decision criteria, alpha, then we reject the null hypothesis claim of no difference. Question 3. Using alpha = .05, what is your decision if the p-value is 0.01 for a one-tail test? (<) our decision criteria, alpha, then we reject the null hypothesis claim of no difference. Question 6. Using the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool, the output can provide the … Question 7. Which of the following defines statistical significance Question 8. In a one-tail test, which of the following statements is true? Question 9. When interpreting the effect size, a high effect is shown by a value equal to or greater than‖. Question 10. To find the z-score of a value, which Excel function could be used?

  10. ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Part One – Multiple Testing Read Lecture Seven. The lectures from last week and Lecture Seven discuss issues around using a single test versus multiple uses of the same tests to answer questions about mean equality between groups. This suggests that we need to master—or at least understand—a number of statistical tests. Why can’t we just master a single statistical test—such as the t-test—and use it in situations calling for mean equality decisions? (This should be started on Day 1.) Part Two – ANOVA Read Lecture Eight. othesis. The other is having a large sample size – virtually any difference can be made to appear significant if the sample is large enough. What is the Effect size measure? How does it help us decide what caused us reject the null hypothesis? ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 2

  15. BUS 308 Week 4 DQ 1 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Part One – Correlation Read Lecture Ten. Lecture Ten introduces the idea that different variables may move together—sometimes due to causation and at other times due to an unknown influence. An example involves the perfect (+1.0) correlation between annual number of rum barrels imported into the New England region of the U.S. between the years 1790 and 1820 and the number of churches built each of those years (citation lost). Discuss this correlation: What does it tell us? Does rum drinking cause church building? Does church building cause rum drinking? Or what else could it tell us? If this correlation shows a cause and effect relationship, what drives what? If not, why does it exist? What could this correlation be used for? (This should be started on Day 1.) Part Two – Linear Regression Read Lecture Eleven. Lecture Eleven provides information showing a strong positive correlation and a significant linear regression existed between the individual’s salary and midpoint (used as a substitute for grade). This is not an unexpected outcome in a company. How useful are these in understanding what drives salary differences? Why? What examples of a linear regression might be useful in your personal or professional lives? Why? (This should be started on Day 3.)

  16. Part Three – Multiple Regression Read Lecture Twelve. In Lecture Twelve, a multiple-regression equation was developed that showed the factors that influenced a person’s salary and—almost as important—factors that did not influence salary. How do we interpret a multiple-regression equation? Pick one of the factors— whether statistically significant or not—used in the analysis, and describe its impact on salary, what the coefficient is and what it means, what its significance is, and whether you expected this outcome or not. (This should be completed by Day 5.) ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 4 DQ 2 For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com DQ #2: Webliography Post a question that you had related to the material this week.

  17. For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Problem Set Week Four This week we get to answer our equal pay for equal work question by looking at relationships between and among the different variables. The first question this week looks at correlations and the creation of a correlation table for our variables. The second question asks for a regression equation showing how the different variables impact the compa-ratio measure. The third questions asks you to discuss the benefits of using a regression equation approach over the single variable tests we have been doing. The forth question asks for what other information you would have liked to have analyzed in our research. The fifth question asks for your answer to the equal pay for equal work question of: Is the company paying fairly or not? If not, who benefits and why? Regression and Corellation Remember to show how you got your results in the appropriate cells. For questions using functions, show the input range when asked. 1. Create a correlation table using Compa-ratio and the other interval level variables, except for Salary. Suggestion, place data in columns T - Y a What range was placed in the Correlation input range box: Place C9 in output box. b What are the statistically significant correlations related to Compa- ratio? T = Significant r = c Are there any surprises - correlations you though would be significant and are not, or non significant correlations you thought would be?

  18. d Why does or does not this information help answer our equal pay question? 2 Perform a regression analysis using compa as the dependent variable and the variables used in Q1 along with including the dummy variables. Show the result, and interpret your findings by answering the following questions. Suggestion: Place the dummy variables values to the right of column Y. What range was placed in the Regression input range box: Note: be sure to include the appropriate hypothesis statements. Regression hypotheses Ho: Ha: Coefficient hyhpotheses (one to stand for all the separate variables) Ho: Ha: Place B36 in output box. Interpretation: For the Regression as a whole: What is the value of the F statistic: What is the p-value associated with this value: Is the p-value < 0.05? What is your decision: REJ or NOT reject the null? What does this decision mean? For each of the coefficients: Midpoint Age Perf. Rat. Service Gender Degree What is the coefficient's p-value for each of the variables: Is the p-value < 0.05? Do you reject or not reject each null hypothesis: What are the coefficients for the significant variables? Using the intercept coefficient and only the significant variables, what is the equation? Compa-ratio = Is gender a significant factor in compa-ratio? Regardless of statistical significance, who gets paid more with all other things being equal? How do we know?

Why? 5 Between the lecture results and your results, what is your answer to the question of equal pay for equal work for males and females? Why? ********************************************************** BUS 308 Week 4 Quiz (3 Set) For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com BUS 308 Week 4 Quiz Question 1. The t Stat value is used to determine the statistical significance of each of the variables listed in a regression analysis. Question 2. A correlation of .90 and above is generally considered too strong to be of any practical significance. Question 3. A p-value of 9.22E-36 equals 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000922 and is less than .05 Question 4.

  20. Question 6. Which statement does not belong? Question 7. Pearson Correlation Coefficient is a mathematical value that shows the strength of the linear (straight line) relationship between two variables. Question 8. A regression analysis uses two distinct types of data. The first are variables that are at least nominal level. Question 9. The ANOVA table provides the Significance of F to use to see if we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis of no significance. The Significance of F is also known as the P-value. Question 10. When performing a regression analysis using the Regression option in Data Analysis, the input for the Y range is the independent variable (can generally control) and the input X range is for the dependent variables.

  25. BUS 308 Week 5 Quiz Question 1. Compared to the ANOVA test, Chi Square procedures are not powerful (able to detect small differences). Question 2. In confidence intervals, the width of the interval depends only on the variation within the data set. Question 3. The percent confidence interval is the range having the percent probability of containing the actual population parameter. Question 4. The Chi Square test can be performed on categorical (nominal) level data. Question 5. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the estimated population or standard. Question 6. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions. Question 7. The probability that the actual population mean will be outside of a 98% confidence interval is Question 8. A confidence interval is generally created when statistical tests fail to reject the null hypothesis – that is, when results are not statistically significant. Question 9. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell. Question 10. For a one sample confidence interval, if the interval contains the population mean, the corresponding t-test will have a statistically significant result – rejecting the null hypothesis. BUS 308 Week 5 Quiz Set 2 Question 1. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell. Question 2. The Chi Square test for independence needs a known (rather than calculated) expected frequency distribution. Question 3. For a two-sample confidence interval, the interval shows the difference between the means.

  26. Question 4. Statistical significance in the Chi Square test means the population distribution (expected) is not the source of the sample (observed) data. Question 5. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions. Question 6. The chi square test measures differences in frequency counts rather than measures differences (such as done in the t and ANOVA tests). Question 7. The Chi Square test can be performed on categorical (nominal) level data. Question 8. The degrees of freedom for both forms of the Chi Square test are calculated the same way. Question 9. In confidence intervals, the width of the interval depends only on the variation within the data set. Question 10. Compared to the ANOVA test, Chi Square procedures are not powerful (able to detect small differences). BUS 308 Week 5 Quiz Set 3 Question 1. For a one sample confidence interval, if the interval contains the population mean, the corresponding t-test will have a statistically significant result – rejecting the null hypothesis. Question 2. While rejecting the null hypothesis for the goodness of fit test indicates that distributions differ, rejecting the null for the test of independence means the variables interact. Question 3. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell. Question 4. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the calculated sample mean. Question 5. Having expected frequencies of 5 or less in a Chi Square test can increase the likelihood of a type I error – wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis. Question 6. The degrees of freedom for the goodness of fit test equals

  27. Question 7. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the estimated population or standard. Question 8. The null hypothesis for the test of independence states that no correlation exists between the variables. Question 9. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions. Question 10. The chi square test measures differences in frequency counts rather than measures differences (such as done in the t and ANOVA tests). **********************************************************
