1-1/Language Numbers and measurements are the
language of business. Organizations look at
results in many ways expenses, quality levels,
efficiencies, time, costs, etc. What measures
does your department keep track of? Are they
descriptive or inferential data, and what is the
difference between these?

BUS 308 Week 1 DQ 2 Probability FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.bus308mentor.com   Things vary in life
virtually nothing (except physical standards
such as the speed of light) we interact with is
constant over time. Much of this variation
follows somewhat predictable patterns that can be
examined using probability. An example of a
subjective probability is Cops usually do not
patrol this road, so I can get away with
speeding. An empirical probability example is
Each production run has a 5 reject rate.

assistance with these calculations, see the
Recommended Resources for Week One. Measurement
issues. Data, even numerically code variables,
can be one of 4 levels nominal, ordinal,
interval, or ratio. It is important to identify
which level a variable is, as this impacts the
kind of analysis we can do with the data.

2-1/Hypotheses What is a hypothesis test? Why
do we need to use them to make decisions about
relating sample results to the population why
cant we just make our decisions by the sample
value?

BUS 308 Week 2 DQ 2 Variation FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.bus308mentor.com   Variation exists in
virtually all parts of our lives. We often see
variation in results in what we spend (utility
costs each month, food costs, business supplies,
etc.). Consider the measures and data you use (in
either your personal or job activities). When are
differences (between one time period and another,
between different production lines, etc.) b

How is the sum of squares unlike either the
standard deviation or the variance? 2.

are calculated for shoppers at three different
retail outlets, what statistic will indicate the
variability among those at each outlet? 3.

BUS 308 Week 3 DQ 1 ANOVA FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
www.bus308mentor.com   In many ways, comparing
multiple sample means is simply an extension of
what we covered last week. Just as we had 3
versions of the t-test (1 sample, 2 sample (with
and without equal variance), and paired we have
several versions of ANOVA single factor,
factorial (called 2-factor with replication in
Excel), and within-subjects (2-factor without
replication in Excel). What examples
(professional, personal, social) can you provide
on when we might use each type?What would be the
appropriate hypotheses statements for each
example?

performance ratings do not differ between males
and females in the population. Now we need to see
if they differ among the grades. Is the average
performance rating the same for all grades?

CLASSES VISIT www.bus308mentor.com   Discussion
4-1/Confidence Intervals Many people do not
like or trust single point estimates for
things they need measured. Looking back at the
data examples you have provided in the previous
discussion questions on this issue, how might
adding confidence intervals help managers accept
the results better? Why?

CLASSES VISIT www.bus308mentor.com   Discussion
4-2/Chi-Square Tests Chi-square tests are great
to show if distributions differ or if two
variables interact in producing outcomes. What
are some examples of variables that you might
want to check using the chi-square tests? What
would these results tell you?

BUS 308 Week 4 Quiz (New) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
www.bus308mentor.com   1. Question
The goodness of fit test null hypothesis states
that the sample data does not match an expected
distribution. Question 2. Question
Statistical significance in the Chi-square test
means the population distribution (expected) is
not the source of the sample (observed)
data. Question 3. Question While
rejecting the null hypothesis for the goodness of
fit test means distributions differ, rejecting
the null for the test of independence means the
variables interact Question 4. Question
The null hypothesis for the test of
independence states that no correlation exists
between the variables.

5-1/Correlation What results in your departments
seem to be correlated or related to other
activities? How could you verify this? Create a
null and alternate hypothesis for one of these
issues. What are the managerial implications of a
correlation between these variables?

VISIT www.bus308mentor.com   Discussion
5-2/Regression At times we can generate a
regression equation to explain outcomes. For
example, an employees salary can often be
explained by their pay grade, appraisal rating,
education level, etc. What variables might
explain or predict an outcome in your department
or life? If you generated a regression equation,
how would you interpret it and the residuals from
it?
