which defines the variables, and the “SYM-506 North Valley Real Estate Case Study Data Set” Excel
spreadsheet, provided in the Class Resource called “SYM-506 North Valley Real Estate Case Study,” to
complete the assignment. Utilize the statistical analysis methods and concepts you have learned thus far
in the course to address the following questions in an Excel spreadsheet and a Word document.
Additionally summarize your findings from each exercise in a brief summary. You will submit both the
Excel spreadsheet with your analysis and the Word document with your summaries. This assignment will
be integrated into the final paper for the case study project in Topic 8, which will require APA formatting
for the tables, charts, and graphs developed in this Part 1 assignment.

Exercise 1: Describing Data – Mean, Median, Range, and Standard Deviation Analyze the following
utilizing the Descriptive Statics in Excel with the Data Analysis ToolPak. Refer to “Use the Analysis ToolPak
to Perform Complex Data Analysis,” located in the the topic Resources, for help with integrating the
ToolPak in Excel. Briefly summarize your findings in a paragraph.

(a) Analyze the mean and median Price (market price in dollars) of the data. Discuss around what
values do the data tend to cluster. Discuss whether one measure is more representative of the
typical Price (market price in dollars) than the others. (b) Analyze the range of the Price (market
price in dollars) and determine the standard deviation. Discuss which two values that 95% of the
Price (market price in dollars) fall between. Discuss whether the standard deviation is a useful
statistic for describing the dispersion of the Price (market price in dollars ).

and whisker charts and scatter charts in Excel. Briefly summarize your findings in a paragraph. (a)

results. Summarize the questions in a brief paragraph. (a) At the .05 significance level, can you
conclude that there is a difference in the mean selling Price (market price in dollars) of homes with a
pool and homes without a pool? (b) At the .05 significance level, can you conclude that there is a
