Week 2 Project Part A

Size is the most understandable data to me because it clearly shows that most of the customers sampled had a household size of 2. As you can see from the graph below size 2 is over double the size of most of the other data. The mean of the household size data is 3.42 and the standard deviation is 1.739. According to the histogram the data is mostly skewed to the right.

The Years data shows that most customers that were sampled have lived at their current location for more than ten years. There is a high concentration of customers located within the 10-18 year range and since both 14 and 18 had the most single occurrences of 5 apiece both of these are used as the mode. The standard deviation for this data is 5.086.

The data for credit balance shows that it has a normal distribution with no skew. The Mean (3970), Median (4090), and Mode (3890) are all within very close proximity and the Mean is at the peak of the chart. All other data points fall nearly equal on either side of the Mean. The standard deviation is fairly high at 931.9.

In the next graph we will look at the relationship between location and income. The rural areas income reaches its peak at $50,000 while both the suburban and urban areas have much higher incomes both climbing to $67,000. Although both suburban and urban areas have higher incomes they also have a much higher range than rural areas. The range for rural areas is 28 while the range for suburban and urban areas is 45 and 46 respectively. The same is true for standard deviation, rural areas have a standard deviation of 7.793, suburban areas have a standard deviation of 15.258, and urban areas have a standard deviation of 14.478.

Another set of data I believe are related is location and credit balance. According to the scatter plot below rural customers have much lower credit balances than both suburban and urban customers. I believe this has a lot to do with the fact that rural

    This causes the shape of the box plot to be quite spread out with the median and quartiles close together. The female writing hand box plot is also the same length as the writing hand box plot; this is because the minimum and maximum data from the writing hand came from females. When putting the male and female writing hand box plots in comparison to each other, you can see that females have a much larger range than the males as discussed before. This causes the female box plot to have a lower, lower quartile and median and a higher upper quartile. The median for males is only slightly higher than the median for females, keeping in mind that males had data from an eleven (11) year old and females had data from a forty two (42) year old. This can cause the data to be slightly swayed as there were not equal age groups for both box…

    AJ Davis department store has asked to take a look at a sample of customers (sample size: 50) in order to more efficiently generate sales and also appeal to their more profitable segment. In order to better understand their customers a statistical analysis and interpretation must be performed. AJ Davis is hoping to achieve insight on how to improve their department store operations and strengthen their customer loyalty. We have taken both quantifiable and qualitative information and have performed descriptive and inferential statistics on the data collected. We do have to disclaim that these are only from a select few from the customer base and does not represent the entire population. Therefore, the interpretations based on the sample group need to be kept in perspective and must not assume complete representation of all customers. After the collection of information from their sample set we have been able to perform statistical analysis and the results are reported below.…

    Answer Key: BFeedback: When the mean is greater than the median, that can indicate that the distribution is skewed to the right. (See the discussion on page 125.) The presence of outliers will also indicate skewness. Using the procedure to identify outliers on page 160, the IQR is 4.4. There are two data values that are greater than Q3 + 1.5*IQR, indicating the distribution is positively skewed.…

    Aggregation Bias

    • 487 Words
    • 2 Pages

    What appears on the next page is a graph representing “aggregation bias” in data. Per Bakken’s report, he assumes that there are no differences between stand-alone retail properties (such as Walgreens) and strip-mall retail properties. He even uses a case study to “prove” that there are no differences in rents between strip and stand-alone retail properties. However, by looking at the graph on the next page, it is possible to find a stand-alone retail property (from Submarket B) that overlaps with a strip-mall retail property (from Submarket A). It is insufficient to claim that because one can find a limited number of “overlapping” property rents that there is only one “market” for retail properties. A proper analysis would require two dimensions of information: the “mean” for each submarket and the “standard deviation” for each submarket. With both a central tendency measure (mean) and a dispersion measure (standard deviation), only then can one claim that there is no difference between markets. The correct procedure would be to analyze retail rental data using, preferably, parametric statistics (such as a difference in means test—t-test); or one could employ a non-parametric statistic (such as a signed rank test—Wilcoxon) if the data do not conform to the parameters of a normal distribution.…

    The advantage of selecting a sample is that it is less costly and time saving than collecting information from a large group of respondents. The selected sample should therefore, have similar characteristics to the population under study to allow generalizability of the results to represent the population (Burns & Grove 2001:365; Polit & Beck 2006:259). These are two types of sampling, namely probability and non-probability sampling (Burns & Grove 2001:374, Polit & Beck 2006:260). In this study both probability and non-probability sampling was used. The location was selected using probability sampling and the respondents were selected using non-probability…
