Option #1: Critical Thinking: Cars 

An expert who works for a car magazine obtained random data (rounded to the nearest thousand) among two categories of used or new cars:

DomesticForeign

The expert would like to understand sales based on list price (rounded to the nearest thousand dollars), sale price (rounded to the nearest thousand dollars), and number of days it takes to sell each car. The complete data set is in the file named Cars.

Managerial Report

Prepare a report (see Module folder) that summarizes your assessment of the nature of the car market. Be sure to include the following seven items in your report.

1. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation) to summarize each of the three variables for the all Domestic cars. Use z-scores to determine if there any outliers in the data set for any of the three variables. If there are any outliers in any category, please list them and state for which category they are an outlier. If a result is an outlier, state whether it is below or above the mean.
2. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation) to summarize each of the three variables for the all Foreign cars. Use z-scores to determine if there any outliers in the data set for any of the three variables. If there are any outliers in any category, please list them and state for which category they are an outlier. If a result is an outlier, state whether it is below or above the mean.
3. Compare your summary results from #1 and #2. Discuss any specific statistical results that would help the car expert understand the car market.
4. Develop a 98% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Domestic cars. What is the Margin of error? What are the lower (or left) and upper (or right) endpoints of the confidence interval? Interpret your results.
5. Develop a 98% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Foreign cars. What is the Margin of error? What are the lower (or left) and upper (or right) endpoints of the confidence interval? Interpret your results.
6. Assume the car expert requested estimates of the mean number of days to sell for the Domestic cars with a margin of error of seven days and the mean number of days of Foreign cars with a margin of error of eight days. Using 98% confidence, how large should the sample sizes be for each?
7. Suppose a Domestic car has a list price of $30,000 and a Foreign car has a list price of $30,000. What is your estimate of the final selling price (based on the percent difference for the sale and list price) and number of days required to sell each of these cars?

Write a report that adheres to the Written Assignment Requirements under the heading “  As with all written assignments you should have in-text citations and a reference page. An example paper is provided in the MTH410 Guide to Writing with Statistics. (link provided in the Modules tab)

Submit your Excel file in addition to your report.

   Requirements:

1. Paper must be written in third person.
2. Your paper should be four to five pages in length (counting the title page and references page) and cite and integrate at least one credible outside source. The is a great place to find resources.
3. Include a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and a reference page.
4. The introduction should describe or summarize the topic or problem. It might discuss the importance of the topic or how it affects you or society as a whole, or it might discuss or describe the unique terminology associated with the topic.
5. The body of your paper should answer the questions posed in the problem. Explain how you approached and answered the question or solved the problem, and, for each question, show all steps involved. Be sure this is in paragraph format, not numbered answers like a homework assignment.
6. The conclusion should summarize your thoughts about what you have determined from the data and your analysis, often with a broader personal or societal perspective in mind. Nothing new should be introduced in the conclusion that was not previously discussed in the body paragraphs.
7. Include any tables of data or calculations, calculated values, and/or graphs associated with this problem in the body of your assignment.
8. Document formatting, citations, and style should conform to the APA 

I need some assistance with these assignment. growth in the economy Thank you in advance for the help! Improving the efficiency of the workers would require lesser number of workers to complete a job in comparison to the situation when the workers’ skills were not upgraded. The money saved by employing lesser number of workers can be utilized to make the payments for the technological and skill up gradation. The enlargement in the production level of the country, both as a result of increasing employment and the efficiency enhancement of the workers, would enable the producers to cut the price levels of the products and the services. This decrease in the price level would in turn augment the consumption level of the general public, which in turn would raise the level of aggregate demand in the country (Arestis &amp. Et. Al., 2002). Fiscal policies can lower the rate of unemployment by assisting to enhance the aggregate demand. Fiscal policies that should be employed are lowering of tax rates and also boosting the government expenditure. The rise in the government spending should complement the national income level that would check unemployment. Low rate of taxes would augment the disposable earnings of the citizens and as a result the consumption level of the public would also rise. This increase in the aggregate demand would have more than proportionate impact on the national income as a result of the multiplier effect. This would subsequently lead to an enhancement in the country’s GDP. The enhancement in the national GDP would lead to an enlargement in the demand for workforce to meet the requirements of the amplified consumption level.
