Please answer two last questions that are bold.

Be sure you have access to the “Big Data Exercise” excel file. This file will contain data for a list of questions. The “Questions” sheet should show you a list of questions. The “Data” sheet will have the collected data points from the questions. The top row of that sheet will indicate the question number from the other sheet. Please keep in mind that the “Big Data Exercise” file is in no way a representation of Big Data used in the real world.

Feel free to manipulate and organize the data to help you answer the following questions. You will use the data to create graphs or charts to support your statements. You can also sort, filter, group, etc the data as well. The goal of this assignment is to extrapolate useful information, patterns, and find relationships.


Review the “Big Data Exercise” file carefully. Using a minimum of 3 levels data points (questions) what type of services or product would you be able to create that you would sell to these people:

  1. What is this product/service? How and why would people use it? Explain.

    1. One possible product to sell to customers would be a dessert and candy store. The store would likely be small and run by 3-6 employees and customers would come to the store as a family or parents would come for their kids to buy delicious, flavorful candies.

  2. What are these data points (questions) (3 Minimum) you used to come up with this business?

    1. How old are you?

    2. Do you like spicy food?

    3. Do you currently have a paying job?

    4. How many siblings do you have?

    5. Do you like salty or sweet snacks?

    6. Do you still live with your parents?

    7. How many dependents (children) that lives with you.

  1. What calculations and methods from these data points did you use to create the information you need for your business? (Include charts and calculations of average, mean, median, high, or low values) And why these values affect your decision to create this business.
  2. Based on the calculated values and data points what demographics would your product/services target? Relate the values from 1c to your explanation.

2. Jun Hao’s Asian Grocery store in Shenzhen has two checkouts (with registers) and employs four staff.

They are all equally skilled and equally good at operating the checkouts (Checkers) and bagging the groceries (baggers). Jun Hao allocates one checker and one bagger to each of the two checkout lanes.  A checkout lane with two staff (one checker and one bagger) can serve 40 customers per hour, while a checkout lane with only a checker can serve 25 customers per hour.

a) In terms of customers served, what is total output and labour productivity in Jun Hao’s Asian Grocery Store?

b) Now Jun Hao adds a third checkout lane with register. If no additional staff are employed, what is the best way to allocate the workers? What will be the resulting total output and labour productivity?

c) Now repeat part b) with four checkout lanes and registers and then five. Are there diminishing returns to capital in this example?

You are a financial planner and a new client, Kristina came to your office with the following question: How much should she save annually given her goals?

 

Introduction

You are a financial planner and a new client, Kristina came to your office with the following question: How much should she save annually given her goals?

  • Kristina is saving for two goals: one is to fund her child Katryna’s college education and the other is to retire.
  • Katryna will begin college in exactly 18 years, and Kristina will retire on the same day.
  • College costs for state institutions are currently running at $6,000 per year, and have historically increased at a rate of 5% per year.
  • Kristina will pay for a 4-year undergraduate education.
  • Kristina estimates she will live 30-year past her retirement, during which time she would like to pay herself a $60,000 per year salary (first payment occurs at the end of year 18, or beginning of year 19).
  • On the day she retires, Kristina would like to pay cash for a BMW Z4 convertible or whatever similar model BMW produces at that time. A Z4 cost $55,000 and BMW has increased price at a rate of 7% per year.
  • Kristina will save annually beginning in exactly one year—18 equal payments spread over time.
  • The date of the last savings installment coincides with the first tuition payment (and the day of Kristina retirement).
  • Kristina estimates an 8% expected return on all investments over the period.
  • How much does she have to save each year to accomplish the above goals?

Step 7: Create a table showing all the additions and subtraction to the savings accounts and the value at the end of each year. (Hint: the value should be close to zero at the end) 25 points

In baseball, is there a linear correlation between batting average and home run percentage? Let x represent the batting average of a professional baseball player, and let y represent the player's home run percentage (number of home runs per 100 times at bat). A random sample of n = 7 professional baseball players gave the following information.

x 0.249 0.245 0.286 0.263 0.268 0.339 0.299
y 1.7 3.2 5.5 3.8 3.5 7.3 5.0

(b) Use a calculator to verify that Σx = 1.949, Σx2 = 0.549, Σy = 30.0, Σy2 = 148.36 and Σxy = 8.687.

Compute r. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.

Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.     Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
