Abstract

The case study analyzes data from 50 sample internet transactions of Heavenly Chocolates from a latest month and tries to find patterns using descriptive statistical tools among the online purchases based on variables such as number of webpage visited, time spent on the Heavenly Chocolates website, days in which transactions were made, and type of browser used by the customer. It was identified that the more webpage online shoppers visited, the more the purchase they are like to make and vice versa. Similar positive relationship was identified, though relatively at a lesser degree, between times spent on website and amount ...

Question 1: Statistical strategy

The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

The Big Mac Index

I would like to analyze The Big Mac Index in European region. I chose 5 currencies: Euro, Sterling, Swiss franc, Zloty and Kroner. Let us have a look on Big Mac prices in each of the country from 2012 to 2016.

Euro area

As it can be seen from this table, raw index was always undervalued – the Bic Mac price in euro was lower than in dollar. It means that the euro currency is overvalued against the dollar. Moreover, we may conclude that the euro is not a very stable currency because the price for Bic Mac changes every year. In ...

The United States is regarded as the largest national economy of the world in its nominal terms, and in accordance with its purchasing power parity, it is the second largest (Henderson, 2014). The GDP of the country in the year 2015 was 17,947.0 billion dollars (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016). Whereas China is regarded as second largest economy of the world in terms of nominal GDP, and the largest economy of the world in terms of purchasing power parity (Lei & Yao, 2008) . Further, according to Tse (2010), China is the fastest growing economy in the world. The industries ...

- Sample mean can be calculated using the following formula:
μ=x=1 Nxi ,
where xi is mass of sample.

The mean is equal

x=130i=130xi=14.87 ounces
In a set of observations, median is a value of variable that have half of the number of observations below it and remaining half above it (Agarval, 43). To set median it is necessary to arrange data in ascending or descending order. As the number of samples is even (N=2p) the average of p-th and (p+1)-th is median. In our case median is equal to 14.8 ounces.

Standard deviation can be calculated as (Bajpai, 129)

σ=i=1Nxi-μ2N=0.541 ounces
σN=0.54130=0.099 ounces

It is possible to find numbers –x and x, between which lies mass of soda with probability 95 % (1-α).

Abstract

In 2009, the US government slashed Medicare reimbursements pushing over two-thirds of health care providers into losses.

The key is to measure both the cost and the outcomes of the health care. There is need to establish an accurate system of measuring costs, as well as to ...

The bottling company measured a sample of 30 bottles to test if there is a significant likelihood that a bottle will have less than 16 ounces of liquid in it. The descriptive results of the test indicated that the average of the sample was 15.85, which is lower than the 16 ounce speculation. The median of the 30 bottles was 15.99, indicating that the median is relatively close to the 16 ounce speculation (Table 1). The standard deviation between measurements was .66. There was a 95% confidence interval of a lower limit for ounces of 15.60, however, the upper ...
