STATISTICS FOR MANAGEMENT – SET (1) 1) WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO SUMMARISE DATA? EXPLAIN THE APPROACHES AVAILABLE TO SUMMARIZE THE DATA DISTRIBUTIONS? ➢ Graphical representation is a good way to represent summarised data. However, graphs provide us only an overview and thus may not be used for further analysis. Hence, we use summary statistics like computing averages. to analyse the data. Mass data, which is collected, classified, tabulated and presented systematically, is analysed further

16 1 out of 1 points What is the correct decision? Selected Answer: B. Do Not Reject H0 Correct Answer: B. Do Not Reject H0  Question 17 1 out of 1 points Which of the following correctly describes the 95% confidence interval for the mean based on the sample? Selected Answer: D. The interval includes the value 2.1 Correct Answer: D. The interval includes the value 2.1  Question 18 0 out of 1 points Questions 18 and 19 refer to the following: In 2007, the median single

company wants the packages to contain a mean of 8.17 ounces so that virtually none of the packages contain less than 8 ounces. A sample of 50 packages is selected periodically, and the packaging process is stopped if there is evidence that the mean amount packaged is different from 8.17 ounces. Suppose that in a particular of 50 packages, the mean amount dispensed is 8.159 ounces, with a sample standard deviation of 0.051 A. Is there evidence that the population mean amount is different from 8.17 ounces

Measuring Service Quality Using SERVQUAL Introduction Measuring the quality of a service can be a very difficult exercise. Unlike product where there are specific specifications such as length, depth, width, weight, colour etc. a service can have numerous intangible or qualitative specifications. In addition there is there expectation of the customer with regards the service, which can vary considerably based on a range of factors such as prior experience, personal needs and what other people

HONORS STATISTICS CH1 In an observational study, researchers simply observe characteristics and take measurements, as in a sample survey. In a designed experiment, researchers impose treatments and controls and then observe characteristics and take measurements. Data from a sample of citizens of a certain country yielded the following estimates of average TV viewing time per month for all the citizens. Answer: Inferential, because the statistics are used to make inference about the

These represent the range of the sale price. Lastly, I used the formula to get the standard deviation 48,945.28, which measures the variability. To calculate the mean I added up the sum of days to sell and divided by 18. The mean is 203,188.89, which mean the average of the listed price. The median was calculated by listing the numbers in numerical order from lowest to highest and located the number in the middle of 203,500. The median represents the middle

1 “Arithmetic vs. Geometric Means: Empirical Evidence and Theoretical Issues” by Jay B. Abrams, ASA, CPA, MBA Copyright 1996 There has been a flurry of articles about the relative merits of using the arithmetic mean (AM) versus the geometric mean (GM). The Ibbotson SBBI Yearbook took the first position that the arithmetic mean is the correct mean to use in valuation. Allyn Joyce’s June 1995 BVR article initiated arguments for the GM as the correct mean. The previous articles have centered

Guessing the Bounce Plate Affect Abstract The goal behind this experiment was to estimate the distance a ball would travel after it falls a certain distance and bounces off a metal plate which has an angle of 45 degrees. To find this we had to take the basic equations for kinematics which are (1/2)at2=x and v=v0+at and combine them to make an equation that will help us solve for the distance the ball will travel after hitting the bounce plate. The equation came out to be R=g*(sqrt(2)/sqrt(g))*(sqrt(H)*sqrt(h))

sensors for one year are summarized in Table 1. The radon concentration varies from 16±0.9 Bqm-3 to 50±23 Bqm-3 with an arithmetic mean of 30±7 Bqm-3 and geometric mean (and geometric standard deviation) of 30 (1.25) Bqm-3, which is less than the lower limit of the action level (200-300 Bqm-3) recommended by International Commission on Radiological Protection [28]. Also, the mean radon concentration is well below the world average value of 40 Bqm-3 [1]. The present results of radon concentration are

The beta is the 0.69 YTD 06/30/2001 figure and our risk premium is the arithmetic mean. Both are found in exhibit 4. We used the arithmetic mean because it is a better indicator of the average returns in the past and 71% of financial analysts prefer arithmetic mean over geometric mean. Geometric mean is not preferred because (PLEASE ADD “WHY NOT” HERE. I REMEBER BOB DOING AN EXAMPLE IN CLASS WHERE GEOMETRIC MEAN IS A TRICK ON STUIPID INVESTORS). Here is our calculation of CAPM. CAPM=5.39%+0
