For the Week 4 paper, I thought going through the sections of the assignment would be best for explaining expectations.

Identify the types of descriptive statistics that might be best for summarizing the data, if you were to collect a sample.

In your Week 3 paper, you needed to identify data that you would collect for your research problem. For this Week 4 paper, you need to explain what descriptive statistics would be used in your analysis. As noted in feedback on the Week 2 paper, the results of a descriptive statistics analysis are presented in both the text, in a summary table, and possibly in a chart or graphic.

To meet this requirement, think about what descriptive statistics would be used in your analysis. What measures of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) would be appropriate? What measures of variability? Would measures of shape (skew, kurtosis) be relevant?

Apply the types of inferential statistics that might be best for analyzing the data, if you were to collect a sample.

In the real world, you would discuss what statistical test should be used to analyze your research problem, For example, if you wished to determine if production is higher for the afternoon or night shift, a two sample t test would be used. However, hypothesis testing (C9-C11 in Jaggia & Kelly) is not assigned for this class.

Since you do not learn how to do this type of basic statistical analysis, this requirement does not make a great deal of sense. You might explain how probability – empirical probability, z scores, or a discrete probability distribution – could be used for your analysis, which might be placed with the following sections.

Analyze the role probability or trend analysis might play in helping address the business problem.
Analyze the role that linear regression for trend analysis might play in helping address the business problem.
Analyze the role that a time series might play in helping address the business problem.

What choice you make depends on the data you have. Your feedback on your Week 3 paper will help you identify the likely type of data. If you planned to collect cross-sectional data, you may be able to use a simple or multiple regression analysis.

If you have planned to collect time series data (by year, quarter, month, week, day), a trend analysis is possible. Both methods involve regression analysis, but there is a ‘trick’ to using simple linear regression with time series analysis. (A post is forthcoming.)

Analysis of Descriptive Statistics Assignment

RUBRIC

Excellent Quality

95-100%

Introduction

45-41 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Literature Support

91-84 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Methodology

58-53 points

With titles for each slide as well as bulleted sections to group relevant information as required, the content is well-organized. Excellent use of typeface, color, images, effects, and so on to improve readability and presenting content. The minimum length criterion of 10 slides/pages is reached.

Average Score

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

0-45%

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
