AJ DAVIS is a department store chain, which has many credit customers
and wants to find out more information about these customers. A sample of 50
credit customers is selected with data collected on the following five
variables.
Open
the file MATH533 Project Consumer.xls from the Course Project Data Set
folder in Doc Sharing.
For
each of the five variables, process, organize, present, and summarize the
data. Analyze each variable by itself using graphical and numerical
techniques of summarization. Use minitab as much as possible, explaining
what the printout tells you. You may wish to use some of the following
graphs: stem-leaf diagram, frequency or relative frequency table,
histogram, boxplot, dotplot, pie chart, bar graph. Caution: Not all of
these are appropriate for each of these variables, nor are they all
necessary. More is not necessarily better. In addition, be sure to find
the appropriate measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion
for the above data. Where appropriate use the five number summary (the
Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max). Once again, use minitab as appropriate, and
explain what the results mean.
Analyze
the connections or relationships between the variables. There are 10
pairings here (location and income, location and size, location and years,
location and credit balance, income and size, income and years, income and
balance, size and years, size and credit balance, years and Credit
Balance). Use graphical as well as numerical summary measures. Explain
what you see. Be sure to consider all 10 pairings. Some variables show
clear relationships, while others do not.
Prepare
your report in Microsoft Word (or some other word processing package),integrating
your graphs and tables with text explanations and interpretations.Be sure that you have graphical
and numerical back up for your explanations and interpretations. Be
selective in what you include in the report. I'm not looking for a 20-page
report on every variable and every possible relationship (that's 15 things
to do). Rather, what I want you do is to highlight what you see for three
individual variables(no more than one
graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability
(as appropriate), and two or three sentences of interpretation). For the
10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings,
again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with
interpretations. Please note that at least one of your pairings
must include location and at least one of your pairings must not include location.

DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.
