Assessment 2b: Assessment Guide

You have been asked to do further investigation and provide a recommendation to Australian Airlines Association (AAA). In particular, you have been asked to provide a recommendation on whether the AAA officials need to interfere to address the flight cancellation problem. Recommend at least one policy that AAA could consider.

1.  Solve lt! 'Statistical Toolbox'

This section of the report is approximately 500 words (guide only, not a word limit).

.    After your initial investigation and feedback from various stakeholders, it has been advised that there are other important factors which affect flight cancellations.

. To  understand  whether  these  factors play an important role,  you will need to (i)  formulate  a multiple  linear regression model and   (ii)  explain whether the relationship is statistically and/or economically significant.

The use of a multiple linear regression, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing would help you address this and thus provide evidence for your arguments.

. In addition to interpreting the results of your analysis you will also need to draw to attention issues of causality and confoundment which can impact the conclusions from the analysis.

.    As  a part of this assessment, assumptions and limitations need to be explicitly identified. e.g. What variable would you want to have in an ideal situation? Do you have this variable in the dataset?

2. Solve lt! 'Ethics Toolbox'

This section of the report is approximately 500 words (guide only, not a word limit).

Your client, the Australian Airlines Association, is especially concerned with the ethical issue that could arise. Apply the 7-step ethical decision-making framework from Unit 3 to answer one of the following questions:

. Should airlines impose mandatory COVID19 vaccination to all their workers?

. Should airlines allow asymptomatic COVID positive workers to work?

Make sure your position on the ethical issue (step 7 in the framework) is clearly presented.

3. Solve It! 'Information Toolbox'

This section of the report is approximately 500 words (guide only, not a word limit).

After compiling all of the above evidence, you are now ready to consolidate this and other evidence that you researched, and provide your recommendations to your Team Leader for inclusion on the main report.

Your instructions are to:

.     Write your report with a clear problem-solving and decision-making logic

.     Tell   a  compelling  story  with a  clearly  articulated report argument structure. You MUST include either a grouping or argument structure logic tree. (the logic tree will not be included in the word count)

.     Ensure that your recommendations are persuasive  and include specific  course of actions for the government.

.     Be consistent with the statistical and ethical analysis conducted in the report.

.     Comment  on the reliability and validity of this report.
