Statistics FOR Business – MNS 601


Special Project


Project Description:

Identify and analyze a real-life, business application of statistics. The “business” can be a for-profit, non-profit, small or large entity. The following are
not acceptable topics:

· A specific application/problem discussed in class

· An application that uses descriptive statistics (i.e., graphs, percentages, measures of central tendency or dispersion)

The statistical procedure you choose to illustrate MUST be one that was covered in this course.

Use one of these statistical procedures:

 
Hypothesis Testing

1.    Apply hypothesis tests to compare sample means with population means

 

       
Tests of Variance

1.    Compare two population variances

2.    Apply one-way ANOVA procedures

 

        
SimpleLinear Regression

1.   Apply the least squares solution to simple, linear regression problems.

 

       
Chi-Square

1.   Apply Chi-Square analyses in tests of independence.

 

      
TimeSeries & Forecasting

1.   Apply the Ratio-to-Moving-Average Method to measure seasonal variation

2.   Apply trend analysis for a time series

You do
not have to collect actual data from a business or apply the statistical procedure/calculate an answer.

To complete your project, copy and paste the form on the second page of this document. Then, fill in all the blanks. You can adjust the size of the answer spaces as necessary – the lines are just there to indicate where the answers go. Do not hand in this instruction page.


Criteria & Administration:

Be concise. Your project submission must not exceed two (2) pages in length (12-point font).

You must write this. Copies of documents/analyses written by someone else will not be accepted.

Submit this project via the course website.

The form provided is in bold font. Do
not use bold font for your responses. Using a colored font (other than red) for your responses is preferable.


Hints:

If you need help finding ideas for business applications, read the problems at the end of the relevant sections/chapters of the textbook. These problems usually include a business application/context. And, you can always “Google it.”

If you have difficulty finding an
actual business application, you can design and propose one for a specific business.
