Instructions:Your response should be 400-750 words, in APA format, 12pt font, 1" margins, references page, etc. (abstract not required). Make sure to use a .doc, docx, or rtf file format and attach the file when submitting. Also, these assignments have a minimum of five (5) required sources. While the video can count as one source, this means you need to find additional sources to add detail and support to your answers. Look for real world examples in the news, peer reviewed journals, etc. For more information about the assignments, refer to the assignment and its grading rubric on Blackboard.Prompt:For this assignment, I’d like you to visit one of the following websites: http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations or http://tylervigen.com/discover. Both websites are spurious correlation generators; some of these are quite funny (i.e., people who drowned after falling out of a fishing boat and marriage rates in Kentucky (r = 0.95); anything involving Nicholas Cage). Pick out two correlations (if you use http://tylervigen.com/discover, you can generate your own two correlations). Be sure to write down the variables in each of your correlations.After you’ve pick your two correlations, answer the following questions:Why is this relationship spurious?How could these two variables related? (ridiculous theories are encouraged here)

Scenario: Upon successful completion of the MBA program, say you work in the analytics department for a consulting company. Your assignment is to analyze one of the following databases:HospitalSelect one of the databases based on the information in the Signature Assignment Options. Provide a 1,600-word detailed, statistical report including the following:Explain the context of the caseProvide a research foundation for the topicPresent graphsExplain outliersPrepare calculationsConduct hypotheses testsDiscuss inferences you have made from the results This assignment is broken down into four parts:Part 1 - Preliminary AnalysisPart 2 - Examination of Descriptive StatisticsPart 3 - Examination of Inferential StatisticsPart 4 - Conclusion/Recommendations Part 1 - Preliminary Analysis (3-4 paragraphs)Generally, as a statistics consultant, you will be given a problem and data. At times, you may have to gather additional data. For this assignment, assume all the data is already gathered for you.State the objective:What are the questions you are trying to address?Describe the population in the study clearly and in sufficient detail:What is the sample?Discuss the types of data and variables:Are the data quantitative or qualitative?What are levels of measurement for the data? Part 2 - Descriptive Statistics (3-4 paragraphs) Examine the given data.Present the descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, CV, and five-number summary).Identify any outliers in the data.Present any graphs or charts you think are appropriate for the data.Note: Ideally, we want to assess the conditions of normality too. However, for the purpose of this exercise, assume data is drawn from normal populations. Part 3 - Inferential Statistics (2-3 paragraphs)Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document.Create (formulate) hypothesesRun formal hypothesis testsMake decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms.Hint: A final conclusion saying "reject the null hypothesis" by itself without explanation is basically worthless to those who hired you. Similarly, stating the conclusion is false or rejected is not sufficient. Part 4 - Conclusion and Recommendations (1-2 paragraphs)Include the following:What are your conclusions?What do you infer from the statistical analysis?State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion?Are there any variables missing?What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?Format your assignment consistent with APA format.
