Week 2 Project Part A

Size is the most understandable data to me because it clearly shows that most of the customers sampled had a household size of 2. As you can see from the graph below size 2 is over double the size of most of the other data. The mean of the household size data is 3.42 and the standard deviation is 1.739. According to the histogram the data is mostly skewed to the right.

The Years data shows that most customers that were sampled have lived at their current location for more than ten years. There is a high concentration of customers located within the 10-18 year range and since both 14 and 18 had the most single occurrences of 5 apiece both of these are used as the mode. The standard deviation for this data is 5.086.

The data for credit balance shows that it has a normal distribution with no skew. The Mean (3970), Median (4090), and Mode (3890) are all within very close proximity and the Mean is at the peak of the chart. All other data points fall nearly equal on either side of the Mean. The standard deviation is fairly high at 931.9.

In the next graph we will look at the relationship between location and income. The rural areas income reaches its peak at $50,000 while both the suburban and urban areas have much higher incomes both climbing to $67,000. Although both suburban and urban areas have higher incomes they also have a much higher range than rural areas. The range for rural areas is 28 while the range for suburban and urban areas is 45 and 46 respectively. The same is true for standard deviation, rural areas have a standard deviation of 7.793, suburban areas have a standard deviation of 15.258, and urban areas have a standard deviation of 14.478.

Another set of data I believe are related is location and credit balance. According to the scatter plot below rural customers have much lower credit balances than both suburban and urban customers. I believe this has a lot to do with the fact that rural

    Overall a majority of the points are either on or close to the line, with only a couple ranging out slightly further away from the line. The graph comparing height and head circumference has more points that are 'close' to the line compared to the other two graphs. The reasoning to this is that there were fewer variations in the data from individuals. Seven points are below the trend line, five are above and three are sitting exactly on the trend line. The spread is overall fairly even on each side of the trend line, though below the trend line the points are slightly more spaced out than the points above the trend line.…

    Aggregation Bias

    • 487 Words
    • 2 Pages

    What appears on the next page is a graph representing “aggregation bias” in data. Per Bakken’s report, he assumes that there are no differences between stand-alone retail properties (such as Walgreens) and strip-mall retail properties. He even uses a case study to “prove” that there are no differences in rents between strip and stand-alone retail properties. However, by looking at the graph on the next page, it is possible to find a stand-alone retail property (from Submarket B) that overlaps with a strip-mall retail property (from Submarket A). It is insufficient to claim that because one can find a limited number of “overlapping” property rents that there is only one “market” for retail properties. A proper analysis would require two dimensions of information: the “mean” for each submarket and the “standard deviation” for each submarket. With both a central tendency measure (mean) and a dispersion measure (standard deviation), only then can one claim that there is no difference between markets. The correct procedure would be to analyze retail rental data using, preferably, parametric statistics (such as a difference in means test—t-test); or one could employ a non-parametric statistic (such as a signed rank test—Wilcoxon) if the data do not conform to the parameters of a normal distribution.…

    The advantage of selecting a sample is that it is less costly and time saving than collecting information from a large group of respondents. The selected sample should therefore, have similar characteristics to the population under study to allow generalizability of the results to represent the population (Burns & Grove 2001:365; Polit & Beck 2006:259). These are two types of sampling, namely probability and non-probability sampling (Burns & Grove 2001:374, Polit & Beck 2006:260). In this study both probability and non-probability sampling was used. The location was selected using probability sampling and the respondents were selected using non-probability…
