The data set used for the analysis: Variable | How the variable is measured | Branch | Branches of the company:1= TESS-Nizhnevartovsk, TESS-Kogalym2= TESS Head Office, TESS-Surgut3=TESS-Tyumen, TESS-Khanty-Mansiysk | Number | Number of the respondent | Work_Exp | Work Experience in JSC “TESS”:1= 2 year or less 2= more than 2 years | JSL | Job Satisfaction Level:Ratings from 1 to 5 where 1= very unsatisfied, 5= very satisfied and 0= no answer/blank | 1.2. Revised Data. Test for Normal Distribution To proceed with the analysis it is necessary to determine if the data are distributed normally. The Histogram below as well as the Descriptive Statistics (Appendix 1, Table 1b) show that the data distribution is leptokurtic (kurtosis is 2,021) and negatively skewed (skewness -,240). We can determine several outliers (Appendix 1, Table 1c, Table 1d) with extreme ratios. In cases #46 and #178 JSL is more than the highest option provided in the questionnaire. That could be a mistake in data entering or the respondent wanted to emphasise his/her satisfaction level. These cases were delisted. Cases with “0” responses are to...

...approximately equal to the variance of the population divided by each sample's size. This statistical theory is very useful when examining returns for a given stock or index because it simplifies many analysis procedures. An appropriate sample size depends on the data available, but generally speaking, having a sample size of at least 50 observations is sufficient. Due to the relative ease of generating financial data, it is often easy to produce much larger sample sizes. • Null Hypothesis: States the assumption (numerical) to be tested, for Example: The average number of TV sets in U.S. Homes is at least three (H0: μ ≥ 3). 1. Is always about a population parameter, not about a sample statistic. ✓ H0: μ ≥ 3 X H0: [pic] ≥ 3 Always begins with the assumption that the null hypothesis is true, similar to the notion of innocent until proven guilty. Refers to the status quo. Always contains “=”, “≤” or “≥” sign. May or may not be rejected. 1. • The Alternate Hypothesis : Is the opposite of the null hypothesis e.g.: The average number of TV sets in U.S. homes is less than 3 ( HA: μ< 3 ) Challenges the status quo...

...1. Introduction Poverty, which is measured by the household income lower than poverty line has been identified as the dependent variable in this project. It is important to know which elements are associated with poverty. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the key determinants of American household poverty in 1980. The four possible determinants will be analyzed in this project, the average numbers of every family (FAMSIZE), URB is the percent of people live in urban, UR is the level of people have no job over 16 years and the median family income in US dollars (INCOME). Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression will be used in this project. 2.

...Unit 1 - Fundamentals of Statistics ReneeCarina Benavente American InterContinental University BUSN311-12005B-11 Abstract In many organizations surveys are done to determine the job satisfaction of their employees. Job satisfaction is important for theses organizations large or small because it makes the aspects of the job easy for employees. Analyzing the data within these surveys is to find the overall job satisfaction using qualitative and quantitative variables. Introduction A word wide study of job satisfaction has been assembled by a large organization called American Intellectual Union (AIU). I have been chosen to be a part of this massive global undertaking. I will be analyzing the data from this study and results survey using AIU’s data set. Chosen Variables In examining the data set and results of AIU’s employees I chose to analyze the positions of the employees as my qualitative variables and the intrinsic job satisfaction as my quantitative variables. I chose to analyze these two specific variables because as an hourly or salary paid employee their internal job satisfaction is very important to know. It is best to understand the job satisfaction of employee position within the organization to better the work environment. Qualitative and Quantitative Variables Using qualitative and quantitative variables you have to know and understand the difference between the two variable or the results would not add up. Quantitative data is data that...

False | | Reset Selection Question 2 of 20 | 5.0 Points | Pretend you want to determine whether the mean weekly sales of soup are the same when the soup is the featured item and when it is a normal item on the menu. When it is the featured item the sample mean is 66 and the population standard deviation is 3 with a sample size of 23. When it is a normal item the sample mean is 53 with a population standard deviation of 4 and a sample size of 7. Given this information we could use a t test for two independent means. A. True | B. False | | Reset Selection Question 3 of 20 | 5.0 Points | The alternative hypothesis can be proven if the alternative hypothesis is rejected. A. True | B.

...Exercise: 11 1. What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurements? Number of hours working per week and Length of labor 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? Descriptive Yes, Frequency (30) and mean (14.63) are used to describe the data. 3. What other statistic could have been used to describe the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer. Length of labor was described for both the experimental and control groups using means (14.63) and standard deviations (7.78). The exact length of labor was obtained, providing ratio level data that are descriptively analyzed with means and standard deviations. 4. Were the distributions of scores similar for the experimental and control groups for the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer. No, the distributions of scores were not similar for the two groups. Experimental group has slightly higher dispersion (n=30 and SD= 7.78) than control group (N=33 and SD=7.2). Standard deviation decreases with larger sample sizes. 5. Were the experimental and control groups similar in their type of feeding? Provide a rationale for your answer. Yes. Bottle-feeding was the mode for the experimental (53.1%) and the control (50%) groups since it was the most frequent type of feeding used by both groups 6. What was the marital status mode for the subjects in the experimental and control groups? Provide both the frequency...

H0: µM = µn/M H1: µM ≠ µn/M α = 0.05 (significant level) There are 98 degrees of freedom. The critical t-value is -1.984 and 1. 984 because it is two-tailed with (α = 0.05), (by using t-distribution table) So p-value is less than significance level: p-value< significance level 0.0002< 0.05 The decision rule is: Reject the null hypothesis if the computed t is not between -1.984 < t < 1.984, but here t = 3.880, and t is out of the mentioned area, also by p-value = 0.0002 < 0.05 Therefore, reject the null (H0), and accept the alternate hypothesis (H1).
