A study was commissioned to investigate the characteristics of local businesses. Data was collected
on 70 local businesses and the following variables recorded.

Column 1 Profit What was your 2014 profit?
Column 2 Type Is the business privately held, publicly traded or a franchise?
(Private = 1, Public = 2, Franchise = 3)
Column 3 Employee How many employees work at your business?
Column 4 Age How old is the company (in years)?
Column 5 Location Where is the company? (1 = Pa
amatta CBD, 2 = Sydney CBD). If you
find this variable is copied to excel as a text convert it to numerical
efore you do the analysis.


QUESTION 1 (4 marks)
(i) Produce a histogram and Ogive of the Profit variable considering 10 classes.
(ii) Produce a Box plot for Profit.

QUESTION 2 (3 marks)

Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the unknown population mean of the Age “business age”.

QUESTION 3 (4 marks)

Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the average business has more than 15 employees.

QUESTION 4 (3 marks)

Can we conclude at 1% level of significant that the presentation (appearance or proportion) of
usiness location 1 = Pa
amatta CBD and 2 = Sydney CBD is the same.

QUESTION 5 (6 marks)

(i) Estimate the regression equation to predict the Profit (y) from the number of
employee (x).

(ii) Determine the coefficient of determination.

(iii) Does the data provide evidence that the slope of the equation from part (i) is
positive? Perform an appropriate hypothesis test using a 10% level of
significance.

(iv) Present the co
elation coefficient of the Profit and number of employee and the
significant of this co
elation.




NOTE: The data was randomly created for the sole purpose of this assignment.
The data can be assumed to be normally distributed for all continuous variables

1. Histogram
First, we convert the Frequency distribution of data in profit variable
Number of classes = 10
We find minimum value of the data using Excel function
=MIN(A2:A71)
=13000
We find Maximum value of data using Excel function
=MAX(A2:A71)
=236000
Using Excel function
= (236000-13000)/10
= 22300
Class interval = 22300
Using This class interval we create the frequency distribution using Excel software
    Lower value
    Upper value

i) Using Excel software to draw the Histogram of the Profit variable to the following data
Ogive:
Using Excel software to draw the Ogive curve to the following data
ii) Box Plot:
Using Excel software to draw Box plot to the following data
Interpretation of Box plot: All the points falls on top of the middle line so the data follows positively skewed distribution.
2.90% confidence interval for unknow population mean of Age
Formulae
Using Excel software
term called as Margin of E
or or confidence level
Where
is the Population mean of Age
is the sample mean of Age
n is the sample size
is the level of significance = 1-0.90 = 0.10
n-1 = 70-1 = 69
S is the sample standard deviation
Using Excel software to obtain these values of Age variable to the following procedure
Step 1: Click the Data option on the top
Step 2: Click the Data Analysis on the top
Step 3: Analysis popup window was opened
Age variable data in the Coolum D in the main sheet
Step 4: Enter this data range $D$1:$D$71 in the input range box
Step 5: Please mark the Label box
Step 6: Select the Summary statistic and Confidence level for mean
Step 7: Enter the 90 in the confidence level for mean box
Step 8: Click Ok
We get this output
    Age
    Mean
    12.71142857
    Standard E

    22.7
    Sum
    889.8
    Count
    70
    Confidence Level(90.0%)
    0.832234232
From the output
Sample mean = 12.7114
Sample Standard deviation = 4.1763
Sample size =70

Thus the 90% confidence for the Mean Age is lies between 11.8792 and 13.5436
3.We want to test the hypothesis that the average business Is significantly more than 15 employees
Null hypothesis: The average business is not significantly more than 15 employees
Alternative hypothesis: The average business is significantly more than 15 employees
Level of significance value = 0.05
Test statistic:
Under the null hypothesis(H0) The test statistical value can be defined
Where
is the Population mean of number of employees
is the sample mean of number of employees
is the sample size
is the sample standard deviation

Using Excel software to obtain these values of Employees variable to the following procedure
Step 1: Click the Data option on the top
Step 2: Click the Data Analysis on the top
Step 3: Analysis popup window was opened
Employee variable data in the Coolum D in the main sheet
Step...
