STAT 200 Introduction to Statistics Assignment #1: Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan   Assignment #1: Prepare Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan Before conducting any statistical analyses, researchers develop a plan for how they will analyze their data to answer their research questions. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an experience developing a descriptive statistics analysis plan. Note: This first assignment is a plan only; no statistics will be calculated or graphs created.  The second assignment will involve carrying out the plan, after receiving feedback from your instructor.   Step #2: Develop descriptive statistics data analysis plan.   ? Task 1: Develop scenario. Imagine that you are head of a household and have to determine a household budget plan based on the data available from the dataset. For instance, you are a 35 year old single parent with a high school diploma and one child.    ? Task 2: Select variables for analysis that match the scenario developed in Task 1.The data set provides information on household consumption; there are socioeconomic variables and expenditures variables. The socioeconomic variable names start with “SE-” and the expenditure variable names start with a “USD;” all expenditures are in US dollars.  All students must use income as one variable. Select two additional socioeconomic variables (one qualitative and one quantitative) and two expenditures for your analysis that match the scenario you developed for Task 1. For instance, using the example  scenario of a 35 year old single parent with a high  STAT200: Written Assignment #1 - Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan - Instructions Page 2 of 4 school diploma and one child, you could select “income,” “education,” and “number of children” as socioeconomic variables and then pick two household expenditure items to show the distribution of costs and compare that with your income. When selecting variables, think about the following three questions: o Why am I choosing these variables?   o What interests me about these variables?   o What do I think will be the outcome?     ? Task 3: Determine appropriate measures of central tendency and dispersion for the selected variables. For each quantitative variable, select at least one measure of central tendency and at least one measure of dispersion (Please see below table for list of measures). For the qualitative variable, select one measure of central tendency. When determining the measures of central tendency and dispersion, think about what is appropriate given the level of measurement and type of variable. Recommend referring to the text and information posted in our LEO classroom to help with this task (Note: you will use this information to provide a rationale for your choice of measures). Measures of Central Tendency Measures of Dispersion ? Mean ? Mode ? Median ? Range ? Sample Standard Deviation ? Variance   ? Task 4: Determine appropriate graph and/or table for each of the selected variables.  Select one graph or table for each variable (Please see below table for list of graphs and tables). When determining the graphs and tables, think about what is appropriate given the level of measurement and type of variable. Recommend referring to the text and information posted in our LEO classroom to help with this task (Note: you will use this information to provide a rationale for your choice of graphs and/or tables). Types of Graphs Types of Tables ? Pie Chart ? Bar Chart ? Histogram ? Box Plots (also known as Box-and-Whiskers Plot) ? Frequency Table ? Relative Frequency Table ? Grouped Frequency Table  STAT200: Written Assignment #1 - Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan - Instructions Page 3 of 4 Step #3: Complete the “Assignment #1: Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan Template.” Remember, you will not be conducting any statistical analysis, drawing any graphs, or compiling any tables for the first assignment. Rather, you need to wait for feedback from your instructor on this assignment and use that feedback to complete Assignment #2.     Here are the main sections for this assignment (i.e., completing the plan template): ? Identifying Information. Fill in information on name, class, instructor, and date. ? Scenario. In this section, briefly (2-3 sentences) describe the scenario you developed in Step #2, Task 1. ? Complete Table 1: Variables Selected for the Analysis. Enter information the variables selected for analysis in Step #2, Task 2. For each selected variable be sure to include its: name as listed in the data set, description, and variable type. ? Reason(s) for Selecting the Variables and Expected Outcome(s): In this section, for each selected variable, please answer the following questions:  ? Why did I choose this variable?   ? What interests me about this variable?   ? What do I think will be the outcome?  ? Complete Table 2. Numerical Summaries of the Selected Variables. Enter information on selected measures of central tendency and dispersion for each selected variable. Be sure to briefly explain why you choose those measurements.  Note: The information for the required variable, “Income,” has already been completed and can be used as a guide for completing information on the remaining variables.   ? Complete Table 3. Type of Graphs and/or Tables for Selected Variables. Enter information on selected graph and/or table for each selected variable. Be sure to briefly explain why you choose those measurements.  Note: The information for the required variable, “Income,” has already been completed and can be used as a guide for completing information on the remaining variables.  

hello buddy, I have this assignment. it's very important assignment and the professor is a bad one please be careful with copying and pasting. She once told me I copy and paste and also said I change some words of original source and put the same text so please be careful. I have attached the sylabus of the corse so you know wwhat is about.So, the assignment is 10 pages long. You should use 6 evaluations. I have attached a full description of it. Please note: this assignment is 3 draft, but you will only write the final one with considering the points the professor mentioned on them. everything is detailed in the attachment summary of the assignment and I have attached two papers of students from other year as examples. Please do as they did. I am attached them just as examples.The topic I chose to write about is No Child Left Behind Act. So please write about it. I will attach the power points we used in class so they can help you as working on this paper once you accept the request Please let me know if you have any question.
