Assignment Summary: The Statistical Report assignment involves practical application of statistical concepts. Students must identify unique business, social, marketing, or finance questions, utilizing multiple variables with descriptive statistics and confidence intervals. Hypotheses for each variable should be tested, and regression analyses explored. The report, spanning 2,500 words, should encompass question, data description, methodology, calculations, and conclusions. Additional guidance will be provided during meetings.

Dear students,
Please read the following information about your assignment carefully.
Assignment Details:
It’s time to get a bit more practical!
Here are what you need to include in your report:
You will need to find a series of unique business, social, marketing or finance question using different statistical concepts, for which public data is available. You DON’T want to go with only two variables, studying the impact of one on the other, that’s not going to be a good, extensive analysis… You have to work with several different variables and ideally, you’d present the descriptive (statistical) characteristics of each of them. You might want to form confidence intervals for the characteristics of these variables (mainly mean) using the methods we have learned. You would then to form different hypotheses for each of these variables and use the tools we have learned to test your hypotheses. You certainly need to choose variables so that you could do regression analyses, either simple or multiple, to extend your analysis on relationships between these variables.
Topics required in your report and presentation would be:
What question are you seeking to answer
Description of data and variables used
Methodology
Calculations
Conclusions
