Unit 6 - Business Analytics - Mathematics
In this assignment, you will be assessed based on the following outcomes: GB513-4: Evaluate real-world situations and present solutions using statistical methods. PC-6.1: Incorporate data, inferences, and reasoning to solve problems. This assignment has two parts. Part 1 has questions about forecasting, you will submit your answers to part 1 using the Unit 6 Assignment template (see attached). You still need to submit the Excel file you used to generate your answers, in addition to the report in Word. Part 2, requires you to analyze a case, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present your findings. See further instructions below under “Part 2-Case Analysis” for more details.Part 1 – Forecasting Answer the following three questions using the template provided. Question 1 A store managers wishes to forecast the weekly number of television sets sold. Calculate the error for each of the following forecasts, the MAD and the MSE. Be sure to show the entire table in the work area of the template. Period Value Forecast Error 1202 — — 2191 202 3173 192 4169 181 5171 174 6175 172 7182 174 8196 179 9204 189 10 219 198 11 227 211 Question 2 The data below shows the number of goods manufactured in one year. ($ billion). Calculate forecasts for years 6 through 13 using a 5-year moving average. Then, calculate forecasts for years 6 through 13 using a 5-year weighted moving average. Weight the most recent year by 6, the previous year by 4, the year before that by 2, and the other years by 1. Be sure to show the entire table in the work area of the template.Answer the following questions: a)What is the forecast for year 13 based on the 5-year moving average? b)What is the forecast for year 13 based on the 5-year weighted moving average? c)What is the MAD for the moving average forecast?d)What is the MAD for the weighted moving average forecast? Which forecasting model that you calculated is better? Why?What is the average rating for all CBC movies? How about ABN movies and BBS movies? Comment how the networks are performing, using the metrics in the table. Your analysis should extend beyond simply comparing the average ratings for each network. What are the null and alternative hypotheses (state in full sentences)? What is your recommendation to the executives? Justify your answer referring to the relevant figures. Which dependent variable contributes more when determining a movie’s rating: Being fact-based or having one star? How much does each of these factors change the ratings? How well does this regression analysis explain the ratings? Justify your answers referring to the relevant figures. Are either, both, or neither of the independent variables significantly related to the ratings at 95\% confidence? Justify your answers referring to the relevant figures. Year Factory orders 1 2,512.70 2 2,739.20 3 2,874.90 4 2,934.10 5 2,865.70 6 2,978.50 7 3,092.40 8 3,052.60 9 3,145.20 10 3,114.10 11 3,257.40 12 3,654.00 13 Question 3 The “Economic Report to the President of the United States” included data on the amounts of manufacturers’ new and unfilled orders in millions of dollars. Shown here are the figures for new orders over a 21-year period. Use the charting tool in Excel to develop a regression model to fit the trend effects for the data. Use a linear model and then try a polynomial (order 2) model. Make sure the charts show the line formula and the r-squared value. Include both charts in your report. Then, answer the following question: ● How well does either model fit the data? Which model should be used for forecasting? Explain using the relevant metrics. Year Total Number of New Orders1 55,022 2 55,921 3 64,182 4 76,003 5 87,327 6 85,139 7 99,513 8 115,109 9 116,251 10 121,547 11 123,321 12 141,200 13 162,140 14 168,420 15 171,250 16 176,355 17 195,204 18 209,389 19 237,025 20 272,544 21 293,475 Part 2 – Case Analysis To answer Part 2, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present your findings. Make sure you also submit the Excel file to show your work for Part 2. You will receive a 100 point reduction if you fail to include the Excel file showing your work for Part 2. Place all calculations for each of the questions on a separate worksheet. Then, using the results of your work from Excel, prepare PowerPoint slides to answer the questions in a presentation format. All relevant content should be on the slides; do not use the notes section or leave information in the Excel file. The executives reviewing the presentation should not need to switch to another document to see the required information. The data you need is provided to you in the Unit 6 Excel file in Course Documents. Make sure to use that file. Do not type anything in manually or download anything from the Internet. You will be analyzing the “Colonial Broadcasting” case in the course pack that you bought at the beginning of the course. Begin by reading the description in the case. Then, answer the questions listed below, NOT the questions listed in the case. Ignore everything in the case document after the end of page 4. The executives at CBC want to see how they are doing in ratings against the other networks and how the ratings will continue to change in the upcoming months. They also want to know if hiring stars makes a difference and the impact of fact-based programming compared to hiring stars. Remember that your audience is the management of CBC. Therefore, make sure your presentation is professional and provides sufficient explanation. 1.Answer the following questions: b.Include a table that shows the average and the other descriptive statistics (using the data analysis tool pack in Excel) for the ratings of the three networks (one column for each network). Explain what you learn from each of the metrics in the table. 2.Create a line graph of the monthly average ratings for CBC for the year. Note that there are multiple ratings data for the months; you will need to calculate an average for each month first, and then plot the averages. After you create the graph, fit a linear trend line, displaying the formula and the r-squared. Explain to the executives if you can use this time series data to forecast the ratings of upcoming months. How accurate can you expect this forecast to be? 3.Should the CBC hire stars for their movies? To answer this question, run a hypothesis test to see if there is a significant difference between the ratings of movies with stars versus movies without stars. Use the data for CBC movies only. Use 95\% confidence. Answer the following: b.Run the test using Excel and include the output table. Use a t-test assuming equal variances. 4.Run a multiple regression where the dependent variable is ratings and the independent variables are star and fact. Use data from CBC only. CBC Management has several questions: Directions for Submitting your Assignment: Be sure to complete the Unit 6 Assignment template. Submit your assignment to the Unit 6 AssignmentDropbox.

Sampling and Sampling Distributions
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Learning Objectives
1. Contrast sampling to census and differentiate among
different methods of sampling by assessing the
advantages associated with each.
2. Describe the distribution of a sample’s mean using the
central limit theorem, correcting for a finite population
if necessary.
3. Describe the distribution of a sample’s proportion using
the z formula for sample proportions.

7.1 Sampling (1 of 16)
Reasons for Sampling
• The sample can save money
• The sample can save time
• For given resources, the sample can broaden the scope
of the study
• Because the research process is sometimes destructive,
the sample can save product
• If accessing the population is impossible, the sample is
the only option
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
3
7.1 Sampling (2 of 16)
Reasons for Taking a Census
• Eliminate the possibility that by chance a randomly selected
sample may not be representative of the population
• For the safety of the consumer
• To benchmark data for future studies
Frame
• List, map, directory, or some other source used in the
sampling process to represent the population
• Also called the working population
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
4
7.1 Sampling (3 of 16)
Frame
• Overregistered: contains units that are not in the target
population
• Underregistered: does not contain some units that are in the
target population
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
5
7.1 Sampling (4 of 16)
Random Versus Nonrandom Sampling
• Random sampling: every unit of the population has the same
probability of being selected into the sample
• Nonrandom sampling: not every unit of the population has the
same probability of being selected into the sample
o
Generally NOT an appropriate technique for gathering data for
statistical analysis
Simple Random Sampling
• Each unit in the frame is numbered from 1 to N (the size of the
population)
• A random number table or generator is used to select n items into
the sample
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

7.1 Sampling (5 of 16)
Simple Random Sampling
Example: From the population frame of companies in Table 7.3, select a simple random
sample of six companies
• First, the companies were numbered from 1 to 30
TABLE 7.3: Numbered population of 30 Companies
01 Alaska Airlines
11 DuPont
21 Lubrizol
02 Alcoa
12 ExxonMobil
22 Mattel

7.1 Sampling (6 of 16)
Example
• From the table of random numbers (Table 7.1), two-digit numbers
are selected, discarding any that are over 30
• In the table of random numbers, the first two digits are 91, which
is unusable
• The second two digits are 56, also unusable, as is 74, the next two
digits
• The fourth set of two digits is 25, which corresponds with
Occidental Petroleum

7.1 Sampling (8 of 16)
Example
• Continue moving across the rows until 6 two-digit numbers are
selected
• Sample will be:

7.1 Sampling (9 of 16)
Stratified Random Sampling
• Population is divided into nonoverlapping subpopulations (strata)
• Analyst selects a random sample from each
o
o
o
Can reduce sampling error, because sample will more closely match the population
More costly than a simple random sample
Strata are usually chosen based on available information about the population
• Within each group, there should be homogeneity
• Between each group, there should be heterogeneity
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
11
7.1 Sampling (10 of 16)
Stratified Random Sampling
• Proportionate stratified random sampling occurs when the
percentage of the sample taken from each stratum is proportionate to
the percentage that each stratum is within the whole population
o
o
Example: suppose voters are being surveyed in Boston and the sample is
being stratified by religion as Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and others
If Boston’s population is 90\% Catholic and if a sample of 1,000 voters is
taken, the sample would require inclusion of 900 Catholics to achieve
proportionate stratification
• Disproportionate stratified random sampling occurs when the
percentage of each stratum in the sample is different from the
percentage that each stratum is within the whole population
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
12
7.1 Sampling (11 of 16)
Systematic Sampling
• Every kth item is selected to produce a sample of size n from a population of
size N
k=
N
n
Example: A business analyst wanted to sample Texas manufacturers as part of a
management study.
• Wanted to sample 1,000 companies
• Frame – most recent edition of the Texas Manufacturers Register® which
listed 22,000 manufacturing companies in alphabetic order
22, 000
• The value of k is
= 22
1,
000
• Use random number table to choose the first element in the study
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
13
7.1 Sampling (12 of 16)
Cluster (or Area) Sampling
• Dividing population into nonoverlapping areas
• Clusters that are internally heterogeneous
o Example: states, cities
• If clusters are too large, a second set of clusters can be taken from
the initial cluster (two-stage sampling)
• Advantages: convenience, cost
• Disadvantages: may be less efficient than simple random
sampling if the elements of the cluster are similar
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
14
7.1 Sampling (13 of 16)
Nonrandom Sampling
• Any method that does not involve a random selection process
Convenience Sampling
• Selected for the convenience of the analyst
Judgment Sampling
• Chosen by the judgement of the analyst
o
o
Since the probability of an element being selected cannot be
determined, cannot determine sampling error
Can be biased due to systematic errors in judgment
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
15
7.1 Sampling (14 of 16)
Quota Sampling
• Population subclasses, such as age or gender, are used
as strata
• Can be useful if no frame is available for the population
• Can be less costly
• Nonrandom, and thus probabilities cannot be calculated

7.2 Sampling Distribution of x bar (7 of 12)
The Central Limit Theorem
• If random samples of size n are repeatedly drawn from a population that
has a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ, the sample means, x ,
are approximately normally distributed for sufficiently large sample sizes
(n ≥ 30), regardless of the shape of the population distribution. If the
population is normally distributed, the sample means are normally
distributed for any size sample.
• It can be shown that the mean of the sample means is the population mean:
x =
• The standard deviation of the sample means (the standard error of the mean) is:
x =
n

26
7.2 Sampling Distribution of x bar (9 of 12)
• If the sample size is greater than 30 or the population is normally distributed,
the sample means are normally distributed, and z scores can be used to
evaluate individual values
x −
z=
n
Example: Suppose the population mean expenditure per customer at a tire store is
$125 and the population standard deviation is $30. If a random sample of 40
customers is taken, what is the probability that the sample mean expenditure is
more than $133?
• Because the sample size is greater than 30, the central limit theorem can be
used, and the sample means are normally distributed
z=
x −
n
=
133 − 125
= 1.69

40
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
27
7.2 Sampling Distribution of x bar (10 of 12)
Example, continued:
• From the z distribution table, z = 1.69 gives a probability of .4545
• .5 −.4545 = .0455
• 4.55\% of the time, a random sample of 40 customers from this population
would yield a sample mean expenditure of $133 or more when the population
mean is $125
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
28
7.2 Sampling Distribution of x bar (11 of 12)
Sampling from a Finite Population
• In cases of a finite population, a statistical adjustment must be
made to the z formula for sample means
z=
x −
n
N −n
N −1
• A rough rule of thumb is to use the finite population correction
factor when n .05
N
• The correction factor reduces the size of the standard error of the
mean, because when the sample is large relative to the population,
the sample mean is less likely to vary from the population mean

7.3 Sampling Distribution of p cap (1 of 4)
The sample proportion is computed by dividing the frequency with
which a given characteristic occurs in the sample by the number of items
in the sample
x
pˆ =
n
where x = the number of items in a sample that have the characteristic
n = the number of items in the sample
The central limit theorem applies to sample proportions in that the normal
distribution approximates the shape of the distribution of sample
proportions if n p 5 and n q 5 (p is the population proportion
and q = 1 − p)
• The mean of sample proportions is p (the population proportion)
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
31
7.3 Sampling Distribution of p cap (2 of 4)
• The standard error of the proportion is
pq
n
• The z formula is
z=
pˆ − p
pq
n
Where
p = population proportion
q = 1− p
n = sample size
pˆ = sample proportion

32
7.3 Sampling Distribution of p cap (3 of 4)
Example: Suppose 60\% of the electrical contractors in a region use
a particular brand of wire. What is the probability of taking a
random sample of size 120 from these electrical contractors and
finding that .50 or less use that brand of wire?
z=
.50 − .60
= −2.24
.60 .40
120
• The z distribution table gives a value of .4875
• .5 − .4875 = .0125
Copyright ©2020 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
33
7.3 Sampling Distribution of p cap (4 of 4)
There is only a 1.25\% chance
of finding that 50\% or less of a
sample of 120 contractors use a
given brand of wire if the
population proportion is .60

Question 3
The “Economic Report to the President of the United States” included data on the amounts of
manufacturers’ new and unfilled orders in millions of dollars. Shown here are the figures for new
orders over a 21-year period.
Use the charting tool in Excel to develop a regression model to fit the trend effects for the data. Use a
linear model and then try a polynomial (order 2) model. Make sure the charts show the line formula
and the r-squared value. Include both charts in your report. Then, answer the following question:
● How well does either model fit the data? Which model should be used for forecasting? Explain
using the relevant metrics.

Part 2 – Case Analysis
To answer Part 2, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present your findings. Make sure you
also submit the Excel file to show your work for Part 2. You will receive a 100 point reduction if
you fail to include the Excel file showing your work for Part 2.
Place all calculations for each of the questions on a separate worksheet. Then, using the results of
your work from Excel, prepare PowerPoint slides to answer the questions in a presentation format. All
relevant content should be on the slides; do not use the notes section or leave information in the
Excel file. The executives reviewing the presentation should not need to switch to another document
to see the required information.
The data you need is provided to you in the Unit 6 Excel file in Course Documents. Make sure to use
that file. Do not type anything in manually or download anything from the Internet.
