Different firms watch these inventive advancements and reproduce them productively. Advancements in associations help support monetary potential in a general public and help produce the apparatuses important to fuel its industrialist framework.

The idea of industrial facility generation intensified creation all in all and took into consideration the sorted out division of work to begin. It concentrated features of the workforce and started to characterize the principles of creation and exchange, which likewise prompted specialization. Henry Ford actualized an imaginative structure by altering industrial facility generation and making the mechanical production system, which is as yet utilized in numerous manufacturing plants in contemporary society.

Authoritative hypothesis can likewise help distinguish noxious types of corporate practice and use them to feature future careful steps.

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is for students to synthesize the concepts learned throughout the course. This assignment will provide students an opportunity to build critical thinking skills, develop businesses and organizations, and solve problems requiring data by compiling all pertinent information into one report.

Resources: Microsoft Excel®, Assignment Databases, Assignment Options, Part 3: Inferential Statistics

Scenario: Upon successful completion of the degree program, imagine you work in the analytics department for a consulting company. Your assignment is to analyze one of the following databases:

• Manufacturing
• Hospital
• Consumer Food
• Financial

Select one of the databases based on the information in the Assignment Options file. (see attached files)

Provide a 1,600-word detailed, four part, statistical report with the following sections:

• Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis
• Part 2 – Examination of Descriptive Statistics
• Part 3 – Examination of Inferential Statistics
• Part 4 – Conclusion/Recommendations

Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis

Generally, as a statistics consultant, you will be given a problem and data. At times, you may have to gather additional data. For this assignment, assume all the data is already gathered for you.

State the objective:

• What are the questions you are trying to address?

Describe the population in the study clearly and in sufficient detail:

• What is the sample?

Discuss the types of data and variables:

• Are the data quantitative or qualitative?
• What are levels of measurement for the data?

Part 2 – Descriptive Statistics

Examine the given data.

Present the descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, CV, and five-number summary).

Identify any outliers in the data.

Present any graphs or charts you think are appropriate for the data.

Note: Ideally, we want to assess the conditions of normality too. However, for the purpose of this exercise, assume data is drawn from normal populations.

Part 3 – Inferential Statistics

Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document.

• Create (formulate) hypotheses
• Run formal hypothesis tests
• Make decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms.

Hint: A final conclusion saying “reject the null hypothesis” by itself without explanation is basically worthless to those who hired you. Similarly, stating the conclusion is false or rejected is not sufficient.

Part 4 – Conclusion and Recommendations

Include the following:

• What are your conclusions?
• What do you infer from the statistical analysis?
• State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion?
• Are there any variables missing?
• What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?

Format your assignment consistent with APA format.

Use in-text citations according to all references used.

List all references used.

Submit both Word document and Excel files, show all calculations made make sure the formula’s are visible and show all work done.
