Statistical Analysis Abstract In today's technology-driven world, data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted to solve a wide range of business problems. Data analysis can be used in different methods, such as descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, or prescriptive, depending on the goal and the data. When we analyze and think about different topics, statistics plays a role in how we make sense of different data trends, how we research it and how we calculate it to use it for our own benefit. Mean, average, and standard deviation are statistical measures used to describe the distribution of a dataset. The standard deviation determines the spread of the distribution, that is, the amount of variation relative to the center. More importantly, it determines the average distance of the observations to the mean. In this research, we will be focused on determining the probability of our delivery truck making a successful and safe delivery. My breakdown will include all calculations and an explanation on how we calculate each area to come up with a resolution. What we know is we have a delivery truck, needing to deliver 71 boxes of A1 ball bearings. The delivery truck will be traveling over a bridge with a weight limit of 11,500 lbs. An empty delivery truck with a driver weighs 8500 lbs.
Statistical Analysis I will go through the process of the scenario on how I determined my answer based on factual details and thorough observations. Many of the details I’m going to share about this process is going to take a lot of researching, analyzing data, diagnosing and being able to predict outcomes. Researchers have proposed various statistical indices to assess the test security, and one most often used index is the average test-overlap rate, which was further generalized to the item pooling index (Chang & Zhang, 2002, 2003). When I conclude my research paper, we will have a better understanding of the standard deviation of mean, median and mode. I will also be able to determine if the truck will make it across the bridge safely based on the calculations or if the driver needs to turn around and end the delivery. The facts that we know are: An empty delivery truck with the driver weighs about 8500 lbs. We have 30 boxes of A1 ball bearings in the plant. We immediately had them weighed.
Statistical Analysis Introduction In this report I will be taking steps to determine the probability that a delivery truck weighing 11,500 will be able to cross a bridge with the weight limit being either over or under the weight limit. The assignment states to pretend you are a Business Analyst working for the ABC Ball Bearing company. I’m planning to send an order of 74 boxes of your A1 ball bearings to a customer on your delivery truck. I just found out that my truck will be going to go over a bridge that has a weight limit of 11,500 lbs. You need to determine if your truck will safely make it over the bridge. If you determine that the truck cannot make it over the bridge, you will need to call the driver and have him/her turn back. The process for determining the outcome will be in the steps taken below: Work out the mean (the simple average of the numbers) Subtract the mean from each number and square the result. Find the mean of those squared differences. This is called the variance. Take the square root of the variance. This is the standard deviation.
