SMDM Project Report Dsba
1.1. Use methods of descriptive statistics to summarize data. Which Region and which Channel spent
the most? Which Region and which Channel spent the least? ................................................2
1.2. There are 6 different varieties of items that are considered. Describe and comment/explain all
the varieties across Region and Channel? Provide a detailed justification for your answer..............2
1.3. On the basis of the descriptive measure of variability, which item shows the most inconsistent
behaviour? Which items shows the least inconsistent behaviour? ...................................................2
1.4. Are there any outliers in the data? Back up your answer with a suitable plot/technique with the
help of detailed comments...........................................................................................................2 1.5.
On the basis of your analysis, what are your recommendations for the business? How can your
analysis help the business to solve its problem? Answer from the business perspective.........3
Problem 2................................................................................................................................................3
2.1. For this data, construct the following contingency tables (Keep Gender as row variable).........3
2.1.2. Gender and Grad Intention...................................................................................................3
2.1.3. Gender and Employment......................................................................................................3
2.1.4. Gender and Computer ..........................................................................................................3 2.2.
Assume that the sample is a representative of the population of CMSU. Based on the data, answer
the following questions:.........................................................................................................3 2.2.1.
What is the probability that a randomly selected CMSU student will be male? What is the probability
that a randomly selected CMSU student will be female? ............................................3 2.3. Based on
the above probabilities, do you think that the column variable in each case is independent of
Gender? Justify your comment in each case. ...........................................................4 2.4. Note that
there are three numerical (continuous) variables in the data set, Salary, Spending and Text
Messages. For each of them comment whether they follow a normal distribution. Write a note
summarizing your conclusions. [Recall that symmetric histogram does not necessarily mean that the
underlying distribution is symmetric]...................................................................................4 Problem
3................................................................................................................................................5 3.1 Do
you think that the population means for shingles A and B are equal? Form the hypothesis and
conduct the test of the hypothesis. What assumption do you need to check before the test for
equality of means is performed? ........................................................................................................5
3.2 What assumption about the population distribution is needed in order to conduct the hypothesis
tests above?......................................................................................................................5
