    Using and Managing Data and Information

    November cohort (2021 – 2022)


    BA3020QA - Assignment 3
    Note to students:
    There are FOUR tasks, and you are expected to complete all of them.
    You are required to transfer the work of all tasks on to a single word-
    processed MS Word file and upload it on Turnitin, which is the
    submission of this assignment. The deadline for this assignment is
    (Friday 22nd July 2022 before 3pm).

    Task 1 (25 Marks)


    A motorcycle dealer specialises in selling six types of motorcycles named
    simply as ‘Touring’, ‘Cruiser’, ‘Standard’, ‘Supreme’, ‘Sports’ and
    ‘Adventure’. The shop wants you to create an Excel sales table consisting of
    the following entries:

    Motorcycle Number of Price (£) Total (£)


    type units sold

    You need to use data-validation to retrieve any motorcycle (and its price) as
    a list for the cell presented in the shaded region above. The price (£) should
    be retrieved from the following table using an XLOOKUP formula. The
    number of motorcycles (N° of units) should not exceed TWO. The Total (£)
    column should be calculated using the following Excel formula:

    𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑁° 𝑜𝑓 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑑 × 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒

    1
    Motorcycle type Price (£)
    Touring 6,000
    Cruiser 5,000
    Standard 4,000
    Supreme 7,500
    Sports 10,000
    Adventure 7,000

    Required:
    Demonstrate the use of Excel data validation by producing some useful
    screenshots. Include formulae to show your understanding of how to use the
    data validation facility on Excel to retrieve information for specific cases
    from the table above. You should show how to retrieve the price and the total
    (in £) for the ‘Adventure’ motorcycle.

    Note:
    All your screenshots and explanation should be included on a maximum of
    TWO pages.

    Task 2 (25 Marks)
    An airline company surveyed 100 passengers regarding their experience
    through the airport. They wanted to examine the level of passenger
    satisfaction and the time taken to get through the airport. The satisfaction
    level is measured using scores from 0=Not at all satisfied to 60=Very satisfied.
    The time through the airport was measured by providing each passenger a
    card once they had checked in at the airport, then returned to an agent once
    the passenger had reached the departure lounge, the time was measured in
    minutes. The following questionnaire was used, and the data was recorded in
    a filename “AirportN21.xlsx”.

    The Questionnaire
    About you and your travel
    Q.1: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
    Are you <20 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 50 and
    [Age]: over
    Q.2: 1. Business 2. Holiday 3. Family visit
    Are you
    travelling
    today for
    [Type]:
    Q.3: 1. Business class 2. Economy class
    Are you
    travelling
    in [Class]:
    Q.4: How many pieces of [luggage] are you travelling with?

    Please state: ………………

    3
    Required:

    a) Produce a well labelled frequency and percentage frequency tables for


    each of the following variables:
    • Age
    • Type (of travel)

    b) Draw a well labelled bar chart representing the variable “Age”.

    c) Use Excel formulae to calculate the descriptive statistics (Location and


    spread) for the variable “Satisfaction”. The descriptive statistics should
    include the minimum, maximum, both quartiles, mean, median,
    variance, standard deviation, range and inter-quartile range. Please note
    that the statistics should be presented correct to a whole number but the
    mean and standard deviation should be presented correct to the nearest
    1 decimal place. You should also show the formulae used for statistics.

    d) Draw a well labelled box plot for the variable “Satisfaction” split by
    “Class” of travel.

    e) Draw a scatter diagram of the “satisfaction” score against “time” taken


    and show the linear regression equation in context (not in x and y). Use
    an Excel formula to calculate the correlation coefficient.

    Note:
    All variables should be clearly named, and their correct categories clearly
    labelled. Graphs should be appropriate and correctly labelled and each of
    them on the same page. Any calculations should be clearly presented and
    explained.

    Task 3 (25 Marks)

    A small hotel in central London has 8 rooms. Based on data collected over
    the last five years, it was estimated that the probability a room is occupied on
    any particular “weekend” night (Saturday and Sunday) is 0.8. This is the
    probability of success. On any particular “weekend” night, a hotel is only
    occupied (Success) or not occupied (Failure). There are no other possibilities.

    The occupancy rate on any particular night during a weekday (Monday to


    Friday) is assumed to be 50%, i.e. a room has a probability of 0.5 to be
    occupied during any weekday.

    Required:

    a) What is the probability that at least half of the hotel is occupied on any
    weekend night? You need to show the table of values for your calculations.

    b) One Wednesday during a certain week, 2 out of the 8 rooms were occupied.
    What is the p-value? You need to show the table of values for your
    calculations.
    Note:
    Show all your calculations in well laid-out Excel spreadsheet tables with
    clear headings and include formulas. Give your answers correct to 3
    decimal places.

    Task 4 (25 Marks)

    A plumber has decided to use the techniques of project management to plan


    a job. He knew all the different activities of the job, their precedence, and
    their average durations. They are shown in the following table:

    Activity Duration Preceding


    (days) activities
    A 3 None
    B 3 None
    C 4 A
    D 8 A
    E 2 B and C

    Required:

    a) Draw a network diagram representing the sequence of activities and the


    dependence between them.

    b) Determine how long it will take to complete the job by conducting the
    forward pass

    c) By conducting the backward pass, identify the critical path and the non-
    critical path(s).

    Note:
    The work for this task should be produced using Word drawing facilities. The
    forward and backward passes should be clearly shown on the diagram. Each
    activity should be described using the notation shown in class as follows:

    Activity Earliest Earliest


    name start time finish time
    Activity Latest Latest
    duration start time finish time
