Open the files for the Course Project and the data set.

For each of the five variables, process, organize, present, and summarize the data. Analyze each variable by itself using graphical and numerical techniques of summarization. Use Excel as much as possible, explaining what the results reveal. Some of the following graphs may be helpful: stem-leaf diagram, frequency/relative frequency table, histogram, boxplot, dotplot, pie chart, and bar graph. Caution: not all of these are appropriate for each of these variables, nor are they all necessary. More is not necessarily better. In addition, be sure to find the appropriate measures of central tendency, the measures of dispersion, and the shapes of the distributions (for the quantitative variables) for the above data. Where appropriate, use the five number summary (the Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max). Once again, use Excel as appropriate, and explain what the results mean. Analyze the connections or relationships between the variables. There are 10 possible pairings of two variables. Use graphical as well as numerical summary measures. Explain the results of the analysis. Be sure to consider all 10 pairings. Some variables show clear relationships, whereas others do not. Report Requirements From the variable analysis above, provide the analysis and interpretation for three individual variables. This would include no more than one graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), the shapes of the distributions for quantitative variables, and two or three sentences of interpretation. For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. Please note that at least one pairing must include a qualitative variable, and at least one pairing must not include a qualitative variable. Prepare the report in Microsoft Word, integrating graphs and tables with text explanations and interpretations. Be sure to include graphical and numerical back up for the explanations and interpretations. Be selective in what is included in the report to meet the requirements of the report without extraneous information. All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy. Project Part A report is due by the end of Week 2. Project Part A is worth 100 total points. See the grading rubric below. Submission: The report, including all relevant graphs and numerical analysis along with interpretations Format for report: Brief Introduction Discuss the first individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation. Discuss the second individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation. Discuss the third individual variable, using graphical, numerical summary and interpretation.

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Arndt, Inc., reported the following for 2018 and 2019 ($ in millions):

2018 2019
Revenues $ 893 $ 992
Expenses 764 804
Pretax accounting income (income statement) $ 129 $ 188
Taxable income (tax return) $ 130 $ 200
Tax rate: 40%
  1. Expenses each year include $20 million from a two-year casualty insurance policy purchased in 2018 for $40 million. The cost is tax deductible in 2018.
  2. Expenses include $2 million insurance premiums each year for life insurance on key executives.
  3. Arndt sells one-year subscriptions to a weekly journal. Subscription sales collected and taxable in 2018 and 2019 were $26 million and $31 million, respectively. Subscriptions included in 2018 and 2019 financial reporting revenues were $18 million ($7 million collected in 2017 but not recognized as revenue until 2018) and $26 million, respectively. Hint: View this as two temporary differences—one reversing in 2018; one originating in 2018.
  4. 2018 expenses included a $15 million unrealized loss from reducing investments (classified as trading securities) to fair value. The investments were sold in 2019.
  5. During 2017, accounting income included an estimated loss of $4 million from having accrued a loss contingency. The loss was paid in 2018 at which time it is tax deductible.
  6. At January 1, 2018, Arndt had a deferred tax asset of $4 million and no deferred tax liability.

6. Suppose that during 2019, tax legislation was passed that will lower Arndt’s effective tax rate to 35% beginning in 2020. Prepare a schedule that reconciles the difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income. Using the schedule, prepare the necessary journal entry to record income taxes for 2019.

A researcher hypothesizes that people who believe in paranormal phenomena will obtain higher scores on the personality dimension of openness-to-experience. To test this belief, the researcher takes 8 randomly-selected people and gives them 2 tests: one is a 50-item test that measures the extent to which they endorse beliefs in paranormal phenomena and the other is a 30-item test that measures their openness-to-experience. The following data were obtained:

Subjects Paranormal beliefs Openness-to-experience
1 40 22
2 20 14
3 48 24
4 6 9
5 30 23
6 26 20
7 42 27
8 12 7

a) Do these data provide significant support for the researcher’s belief (α = .05)?

b) Use the data to generate a 95% prediction interval for the openness-to-experience score of a person with a paranormal beliefs score of 25.

For each of the following tests of hypotheses, determine whether the null hypotheses should be rejected. Use the classical method by finding the lower xL and upper xU limits for two-tail tests (or one of the two for a one-tail test). Additionally, don't forget to use a t-value (rather than a z-value) when n<30.

A) Ho: µ = 6,000 Ha: µ ≠ 6,000; n = 70; x = 6,150; σ = 2,600; α = .01

B) Ho: µ = 50 Ha: µ > 50; n = 24;  x = 55; s = 7; α = .05

C) Ho: µ ≥ 400 Ha: µ < 400; n = 56;  x = 350; s = 62; α =.03

Use the dependent variable (labeled Y) and one of the independent variables (labeled X1, X2, and X3) in the data file. Select and use one independent variable throughout this analysis. Use Excel to perform the regression and correlation analysis to answer the following. The week 6 spreadsheet can be helpful in this work.

1. Generate a scatterplot for the specified dependent variable (Y) and the selected independent variable (X), including the graph of the "best fit" line. Interpret.
2 Determine the equation of the "best fit" line, which describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the selected independent variable.
3 Determine the correlation coefficient. Interpret.
4 Determine the coefficient of determination. Interpret.
5 Test the utility of this regression model by completing a hypothesis test of b=0 using α=0.10. Interpret results, including the p-value.
6 Based on the findings in steps 1-5, analyze the ability of the independent variable to predict the dependent variable.
7 Compute the confidence interval for b, using a 95% confidence level. Interpret this interval.
8 Compute the 99% confidence interval for the dependent variable, for a selected value of the independent variable. Each student can choose a value to use for the independent variable (use same value in the next step). Interpret this interval.
9 Using the same chosen value for part (8), estimate the 99% prediction interval for the dependent variable. Interpret this interval.
10 What can be said about the value of the dependent variable for values of the independent variable that are outside the range of the sample values? Explain.
11 Describe a business decision that could be made based on the results of this analysis. In other words, how might the business operations change based on these statistical results. .

Conduct a multiple regression analysis to find the best predictors of sales
a. Draw a scatter diagram comparing sales volume with each of the independent variables.
Comment on the results.
b. Develop a correlation matrix. Do you see any problems? Does it appear there are any
redundant independent variables?
c. Develop a regression equation. Conduct the global test. Can we conclude that some of
the independent variables are useful in explaining the variation in the dependent variable.
d. Conduct a test of each of the independent variables. Are there any that should be dropped?
e. Refine the regression equation so the remaining variablesare all significant.
f. Determine the variance inflation factor for each of the independent variables. Are there any
problems?
