BUS708 Statistics and Data Analysis

Assessment 4

Word Document Report

Trimester 2, 2022

1   OVERVIEW OF THE ASSIGNMENT

This assignment will test your skill to present and summarise data as well as to make basic statistical inferences in a business context. You will use the results and any feedback given in the first assignment (Assessment 3,  Excel  Report) and  produce a single report in a word document. You will  need to construct interval estimates, perform suitable hypothesis tests and regression analysis, and make conclusion and suggestion for management action.

Your report should be written in a word document (or other word processing application) and should be submitted to Turnitin either as a .docx or .pdf file format following the requirement explained below.

2   TASK DESCRIPTION

There are two datasets involved in this assignment: Dataset 1 and Dataset 2, which are the same datasets used in the first assignment (Assessment 3, Excel Report). Please refer to Assessment 3 Description for the details about these datasets. All data processing and calculation should be

performed in Excel or Statkey (http://www.lock5stat.com/StatKey), hence you should not use a          statistical table to find critical value or p-value. Specific instructions as to which computer tools           should be used for each section will be given during tutorials.                                                                        Your tasks are to answer the following research questions given in Section 2 to Section 6 below using dataset 1 or dataset 2 as indicated in each section. To answer each question, you will need to first present the relevant numerical summary (summary statistics) and graphical display, which you should have done in Assessment 3 (Excel Report), and then perform suitable statistical analysis to make inferences and to provide conclusions.

Your tasks are described below.

1.   Section 1: Introduction

Provide a brief and clear introduction about the report (e.g. the objective(s) of the report, the datasets involved, etc.).

Find 1-3 articles (minimum one article, maximum three articles) which are relevant to any  of the  research  questions given  in  Section  2 to  Section  6  and write  a  proper literature review. Your literature review should include in-text citation and you will need to add a reference list at the end of your report.

It is expected that this section will be around 2 – 3 paragraphs.

Please read Section 3.2. c) Referencing and Plagiarism, from the Subject Outline. Below is part of the statement:

“Students plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most serious repeat cases . Exclusion has     serious visa implications.”

“Authorship is also an issue under Plagiarism – KOI expects students to submit their own original work in both   assessment and exams, or the original work of their group in the case of a group project. All students agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments online via Moodle, stating that the work submitted is      their own original work.

The following are examples of academic misconduct and can attract severe penalties:

•     Handing in work created by someone else (without acknowledgement), whether copied from another student, written by someone else, or from any published or electronic source, is fraud, and falls under the general Plagiarism guidelines.

•    Students who willingly allow another student to copy their work in any assessment may be considered to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be applied. ”
