1. Plot distributions (histograms) of each of these four variables, using either:
a. Engineering paper, manually preparing these plots

b. Excel which can prepare these distributions for you

2. Ensure you identify the mean value on each plot and also determine the following statistics to demonstrate the variation of queuing performance:

a. For each variable, calculate the probability that the data will exceed 125, 150, 175 and 200% of the mean

b. Determine each increment until the statistic reaches near zero

c. Again you can do these calculations manually or by Excel

Note: Make graphs out of the excel sheet provided, and a graph of the interarrival times, the t que, the t ser, and the t sys.

Your aim is to identify which attribute or combination of attributes and which algorithm has the highest accuracy in identifying adults who would be given a ‘good’ credit rating. Once you have completed this, write a report to describe in detail the analyses you have performed.

Your report should include:
• A data set description in terms of the attributes present in the data, the number of instances, missing values, and other relevant characteristics.
• A detailed description of the pre-processing of the data.
• Evidence that you have investigated the data using multiple analysis methods.
• An explanation of the selected algorithm.
• A discussion of any pre or post processing done to improve the accuracy of your analysis.
• A business recommendation based upon your analysis.
The report should be no more than 2500 words long and should include such graphics as are appropriate to illustrate your answers.

 
For Part B of the assignment, you will choose four transcripts of interviews done by you and your fellow students on your allocated product; you should then:
1) identify examples of strong and weak interview technique
2) analyse the interviews
3) compare the use of surveys, interviews and focus groups for doing market research on packaging
The assignment should be clearly written and readable. Last year many students lost marks because their English was poor and/or they were not able to successfully convey meaning. You should consider carefully issues such as sentence construction, grammar, structure, reader signposting and use of headings. We strongly recommend you make use of the Business & Law Academic Skills Centre (BLASC) and their useful on-line tips: http://staffnet.kingston.ac.uk/blasc/. You might also find it helpful to read Rediscover Grammar, a useful book by David Crystal (available in the library). It is always a good idea to check your work for clarity before submitting and to ask someone else to read it as well.

The recommended word-count is up to 2500 words. University regulations allow you to exceed this by 10% (i.e. 2750 words). Assignments of more than 2750 words will incur a penalty deduction of 10% of the total assignment mark, as will those that do not state the word count on the front cover. Note, however, that the appendix is not included in the word-count.

 
The Task:
You are asked to work on a project for the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security of city X in province Y in China. The project aims to analyse various issues related to employment in city X. The Bureau is particularly interested in issues related to wage inequality and the determinants of wage rates in this city.
You are asked to address the following issues:
(1) How is wage inequality defined in the literature? Given the complex data set, explain how you will proceed in order to provide evidence of wage inequality. (30%)
(2) Provide the Bureau with the evidence of wage inequality you have found and interpret your results. (50%)
(3) Draw sensible conclusions based on your findings and provide suggestions to the Bureau. (20%)

In your first lab assignment (Please see the attachment), you analyzed defects in M&M’s candies using a Pareto Chart. The Pareto chart allowed you to display a bar chart in order of decreasing frequency, which identifies the largest opportunity for improvement. Now that you know what the most frequent problem is, you are going to use your quality management skills to get to the bottom of the problem by finding its root cause(s). Refer to your first lab assignment, and answer the following questions in a Word document.

1.Refer to the “Visual Learner: Statistics” for examples to help complete the problems in the “Topic 5: Correlation/Regression and Chi Square Excel Worksheet.” Also, to aide in the Excel calculations, view the appropriate section of the Excel tutorials. Answer each question completely in the Excel worksheet provided.

2.Complete Exercise 23 and 24 in Statistics for Health Care Research: A Practical Workbook.

In order to receive full credit on calculated answers, please show your work. (Use Word’s equation editor, etc., and/or provides a short written description as to how you obtained the final result.) Exercise 24 includes 10 questions and a bonus question. Answer all questions including the bonus question.

 
note: writer “must” review the first lab assignment(will upload) then following first assignment to answer the following questions.
dont mass up, ****if you dont know how to write this assignment, you’d better not pick up this. don’t give me a wrong paper when done.*****

In your first lab assignment(will upload), you analyzed defects in M&M’s candies using a Pareto Chart. The Pareto chart allowed you to display a bar chart in order of decreasing frequency, which identifies the largest opportunity for improvement. Now that you know what the most frequent problem is, you are going to use your quality management skills to get to the bottom of the problem by finding its root cause(s). Refer to your first lab assignment, and answer the following questions in a Word document.

1. What total quality management tool would you use to study causation? Please support your argument carefully with facts and well-regarded opinions from research, in addition to personal observations and experiences. (4points)
2. What is the difference between a flowchart and a Fishbone diagram? (4points)
3. Construct a flowchart to describe your data collection and analysis process for the M&M’s assignment (4points)
4. Construct a Fishbone diagram to find the root cause(s) of the most frequent defect found in the M&M’s candies. Ask why five times for at least two of the main causes (4points).
5. Explain how the admission department of a college could use the tools discussed in this assignment to improve the admission process? Please support your arguments with facts (6points).

Write a short paper containing the answers to these questions. Successful reports will include:

> Evidence of research from academia and other reputable sources (Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source).
> References are correctly cited within the body of the paper. APA format is required for in-text citation.
> Examples of personal experience (work, life) that supports the research.
> All references cited correctly at the end of the paper (Reference page). APA format is required for reference pages.
> Use APA style for in text citations and your reference page (double spacing not required).
> Please use reference from the textbook.

Selects preferred research study and critiques a research study published in the educational literature. The research study must be published in a professional journal (e.g., Journal of Teacher Education, Educational Assessment, Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, etc.). You will write a five to eight pages, double-spaced paper that synthesizes your evaluation of the research study. A copy of your selected article should be submitted along with your critique paper for grading.
