Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename.02Ensure the RaceResults worksheet is active, then use the FREQUENCY function to calculate the frequency distribution of the race results in column D. Place your results in the range G4:G9.53Enter a function in cell F22 to calculate the correlation between age (Columns C) and race time (Column D).54Enter a function in cell G22 to calculate the covariance between age and race time. 55Enter a function in cell H22 to calculate the variance of the ages in the data set. Note this is a sample of data not a population.56Enter a function in cell I22 to calculate the standard deviation of the ages in the data set.77Ensure the Data Analysis ToolPak add-in is active. Use the Data Analysis ToolPak to create a histogram with chart output starting in cell H12 based on the ages of the runners surveyed. Use the range F13:F18 as the Bin Range. Ensure that Chart output and Cumulative percentage is included in the results. Place the upper left hand corner of the chart in cell L13.88Ensure the VolunteerInfo worksheet is active. Use the Data Analysis ToolPak to perform a single factor ANOVA on the range C5:E21 (Including column lables). Place the results starting in cell G5. 99Create a Forecast Sheet that depicts year over year growth in participation. Set the Forecast end year as 2025 and place the results on a new worksheet named 2025Forcast.510Ensure the Participants worksheet is active then create a scatter plot chart that places the Participant observations on the X axis and the Donation dollars on the Y axis (do not include column headings). Add the chart title Participant Forecast and a linear trendline to the chart that also shows the Equation and the R-square.811Enter a function in cell F6 to calculate the intercept of the linear trendline created in the prior step.712Enter a function in cell G6 to calculate the Slope of the linear trendline.713Enter a function in cell H6 to calculate the R-square of the linear trendline.714Enter a function in cell I6 to calculate the Standard Error. 715Use the FORECAST.LINEAR function in cell F9 to forecast potential donations once the goal of 20,000 participants is reached. Format the results as Currency.716Complete your analysis by adding formulas in the range G9:H9 to calculate the high and low thresholds of the forecast.817Save and close EXP19_Excel_Ch08_CAP_GoldenState5k.

Synopsis CEO Tony Bussard apparently wanted to relinquish none of the power when he agreed with board members of Alvon Biometrics to maintain control over the financial and administrative side of the company while naming a COO to oversee day-to-day operations. Juan Carlos De la Vega was hired as COO for the company. De la Vega came to Alvon from a smaller rival company and was initially excited about his new position and the future of Alvon. But De la Vega’s exciting new position came with its own set of frustrations as he tried to plunge into the rapidly changing technology while simultaneously fitting into the organization and tip-toeing around Tony Bussard’s ego. One year into the job, De la Vega was still wondering what  was expected of him. De la Vega’s earnest efforts to get guidance about his responsibilities seemed to be brushed aside by the CEO. The confusion about De la Vega’s role also filtered down the ranks. Employees, expecting initiative from De la Vega, remained uncertain about his range of responsibilities. Even one year later, employees were reluctant to take a chance on angering Bussard by shifting their attention and allegiance to De la Vega. De la Vega knew it was time for clarity. Questions: 1. If you were De la Vega, what would you do at this point? Do you think De la Vega has waited too long to make a substantial change in his relationship with Bussard? Why? 2. How would you characterize De la Vega’s style as a follower? What tactics might help improve his relationship with Bussard? Explain. 3. If you were in De la Vega’s position, what would you have done from the beginning? Be specific about your actions and timing.
