The quantitative of each site is that they included tax list information and census return evidence. The Bureau of Economic Analysis and FRED database qualitative used are they both expound on the findings that are encompassed in the database. The area that was not comfortable to me was about the measureable and qualitative. I did not fully comprehend what the real variance is and after reading the material it seem as if they both mean the same.

This database is a valuable source because this consents populaces to see how the country 's financial state is. The Bureau of Economic Analysis includes estimates concerning national, international, and regional economic activity. The first source that I would use is the U.S Department of Commerce/ Bureau of Economic Analysis. I would use this source because the data here is first accurate and for the most part of to date. This site gives you real up to date data on the real GDP. This resource gives you data on consumer spending which is one important resource that needs to be looked at and tells us how the economy is doing. The second source that I would use is the National Bureau of Economic Research. This site gives you additional sites for gathering data relating to historical economic data. For economic forecast data I would use information gathered from Dow Jones Average which provides not only historical data and can gives us an outlook on how the economy is doing and can predict the future on our economy. With these resources a qualitative factor can be that most of these resources can expert driven who can in turn see the short term goals of business and products. The quantitative factors in these resources eliminate the experts and rely on the people and focuses on the long run of the economy. It also provides statistics decision influenced by the government officials, business people, households and individuals.

    Sampling and Data Collection in Research

    Probability sampling is a method of sampling that utilizes some form of random selection (Trochim, 2006). This means that the samples are retrieved in a process that gives everyone in the population an equal chance of being selected. There are five different methods of probability sampling which are simple random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, area sampling and estimating sample size. An example of probability sampling is when the telephone surveys randomly select people to call in order to take the survey.…

    Business Forecasting

    From both Chart 1 and Chart 2, the drawing conclusion is that the data has trend-cycle and seasonal components. Firstly, although there is no general upward trend and downward trend, clearly there is a cycle component: the data value climbs up in the first 20 data and then displays a down trend following behind. As to seasonal component, it is clearly from the time series plot that in each year the highest investment happened in the fourth quarter, while the lowest one occurred around the first quarter. From the ACF plot, the most significant autocorrelation is in lag 4, and there is also a spike in lag 8, indicating that there is a quarterly seasonal component. By carrying out a first difference, the ACF series plot display obvious quarterly seasonal component. Therefore the data value…
