What are some of your recommendations?arrow_forwardThe manager Concerned about her current customer base, manager Andersen started to think of factors that might affect the attractiveness of an auditing firm. Of course, the service quality provided and the fees charged by the auditor seem two important factors. Next, she decides that the reputation of the auditing firm also needs to be included in the framework as an independent variable. As illustrated by the dramatic effects of recent auditing scandals, reputation seems especially important for large auditors (i.e., auditing firms that are large in size). Finally, manager Andersen also thinks that the proximity of the auditing firm to the customer is another variable to be included as an independent variable. Proximity very likely affects the possibility for the client to personally meet with the auditors on a regular basis and she knows from her own contact with customers that they perceive personal interactions as quite important. Consider the above scenario shown; answer the…arrow_forwardCollege GPA and Salary.

PLEASE MAKE SIMPLE GRAPH. What does the scatter diagram indicate about the relationship between the two variables? Use these data to develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict annual salary 10 years after graduation given college GPA. At the .05 level of significance, does there appear to be a significant statistical relationship between the two variables?

- The hospital readmission rate is often considered an indicator of an undesirable patient outcome. Youquality improvement team is located at a metropolitan hospital that serves a large population. The quality improvement team is conducting a study pertaining to readmissions, smoking and number of drugs administered to admitted patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The team is interested in reducing the number of readmissions among patients discharged with a principal diagnosis of CHF. The team believes that the high admission rate is due to the difficulty that these patients have in controlling the number of drugs that they typically take. The team believes that by improving patient/family education regarding drug administration, the readmission rate could be reduced. Thus, they have developed the screen “CHF patients taking three or more drugs” to identify these patients before discharge. To evaluate the effectiveness of the measure, the team conducts a study on all CHF…arrow_forwardwhy is analzing the relationship between two variables considered a crucial step in data analysis/arrow_forwardThe rapid growth of video game popularity has generated concern among practitioners, parents, scholars and politicians,” wrote researchers Hope M. Cummings and Elizabeth A. Vandewater. “Particularly during adolescence, when social interactions and academic success lay the groundwork for health in adulthood, there is concern that video games will interfere with the development of skills needed to make a successful transition to adulthood.” [Source: Cummings, H., & Vandewater, E. (2007). Relation of adolescent video game play to time spent in other activities. Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 161(7), 684–689.] Cummings and Vandewater measured the time adolescents spent playing video games and the time they spent doing other activities, such as interacting with family and friends, reading or doing homework, or playing sports. Suppose you decide to conduct a similar study among a random sample of 62 teenage girls who play video games. You want to determine whether…arrow_forward
