In each of the assignments in this course, you will be dealing with the following scenario: American Intellectual Union (AIU) has assembled a team of researchers in the United States and around the world to study job satisfaction. Congratulations, you have been selected to participate in this massive global undertaking. The study will require that you examine data, analyze the results, and share the results with groups of other researchers. Job satisfaction is important to companies large and small, and understanding it provides managers with insights into human behavior that can be used to strengthen the company's bottom line. The data set for the study is a sample of a survey conducted on the population of the American Intellectual Union (AIU). This session's unique data set may be found in the LEARNING MATERIALS and it contains the following nine sections of data that will be used throughout our course: o Gender o Age o Department o Position o Tenure o Overall Job Satisfaction o Intrinsic Job Satisfaction: Satisfaction with the actual performance of the job o Extrinsic Job Satisfaction: external to the job, for example, office location, your work colleagues, your own office (cubicle/hard walled office, etc), o Benefits: Health insurance, pension plan, vacation, sick days, etc. In the first assignment you are to complete the following: • You will need to examine two of the nine sections of data: o one section of qualitative data (choose either Gender or Position) o one section of quantitative data (choose either Intrinsic or Extrinsic) • Each section should include all data points listed in the column for the variable. The requirements include: 1. Identify the data you selected. 2. Explain why the data was selected. 3. Explain what was learned by examining these sets of data. 4. Your analysis should include using Microsoft Excel to obtain information about the data through the use of three measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode). 5. Your analysis should also include the use of two measures of variability (standard deviation and variance). Some measures are appropriate for qualitative data, and some are appropriate for quantitative data. 6. If a measure is not applicable, then explain why. 7. You will have to also provide one chart/graph for each of the results of the two processed sections of data (2 total), such as a pie or bar chart or a histogram. (A table is not a chart/graph.) Ensure that you label the chart/graph clearly. 8. You will then need to discuss what you additionally learned from the results of this process. 9. Explain why charts/graphs are important in conveying information in a visual format and why standard deviation and variation are important. You will need to combine all of the items above into one comprehensive report. This report must be completed in Microsoft Word and should contain: This assignment will be assessed using the rubric provided here. Load the Data Analysis Toolpak by following these instructions Unit 1 - Fundamentals of Statistics Veronica Goldman-House American InterContinental University October 8, 2014 Abstract This assignment is requesting information pertaining to statistics, which involves quantitative methods and analysis. Which is associated with means, mode, medians, variables and other methods to perform a study of human are requirements to exist on this planet. There will be explanations of definitions and charts to prove the facts. Introduction This unit is inquiring information pertaining to AIU team of researchers to obtain information concerning gender for the qualitative variables pertaining to employment expectations. Also, to document the research that has been obtained from the study. The substances of qualitative variable don’t consist of numeric studies. The research will provide accuracy pertaining to companies of all sizes. The qualitative and quantitative methods include information about examining the statistical significance of results, as well the practical results conveyed through effects sizes and confidence intervals Croswell (2013). Chosen Variables My choice of study is pertaining to females, due to the fact that society has ignored females throughout time. Introduce the variables that you chose to analyze and why you made that choice. Please remember you are limited to the choice of Gender or Position for your qualitative variable, and Intrinsic or Extrinsic for your quantitative variable. Difference in variable types Explain In your own words the difference between qualitative and quantitative variables. Which descriptive statistics are appropriate for qualitative variables and which are appropriate for quantitative variables and why? Descriptive statistics: Qualitative variable Copy/Paste appropriate descriptive statistics from Excel here for your qualitative variable Explanation of descriptive statistics Explain what these descriptive statistics represent or what recommendations you would make to AIU. What information do you now have as a result of processing this data? Descriptive statistics: Quantitative variable Copy/ Paste appropriate descriptive statistics from Excel for your quantitative variable. Explanation of descriptive statistics Explain what these descriptive statistics represent or what recommendations you would make to AIU. What information do you now have as a result of processing this data? Chart/Graph for qualitative variable INSERT CHART here for qualitative variable. Be sure that you have included labels in the chart. Description of Chart Insert your written description of the chart pasted above Chart/Graph for quantitative variable INSERT CHART here for quantitative variable. Be sure that you have included labels in the chart. Description of Chart Insert your written description of the chart pasted above Explanation of standard deviation and variance Explain the importance of standard deviation and variance, what they measure and why they are needed. Importance of charts and graphs Explain the importance of charts and graphs in conveying information. Conclusion Add some concluding remarks-can be a sentence or two.
