Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Hint for the first part of question 2: To assist you with filling out the table in the first part of the question,…
Consider a sample with data values of 27, 25, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28, and 25. Compute the range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation (to a maximum of 2 decimals, if decimals are necessary). Range   Interquartile range   Variance   Standard deviation
Perform a Step by step  following tests in Microsoft Excel. Each of the following is 0.5 points, with a total of 6 points. Provide your answers in the following table. Median Standard Deviation Minimum Maximum Range 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile Skewness; provide a one sentence explanation of what does the skewness value indicates Kurtosis; provide a one sentence explanation of what does the kurtosis value indicates Make a labelled histogram; no point awarded if it is not labelled Make a labelled boxplot; no point awarded if it is not labelled   Data 27 30 22 25 24 22 20 28 20 26 21 23 24 20 28 30 20 28 29 30 21 26 29 25 26 25 20 30 26 28 25 21 22 27 27 24 26 22 29 28 30 22 22 22 30 21 21 30 26 20
