WK 3 Which Major, Business or Engineering, Will Give the Better ROI? Project
Project Week 3
For these project assignments throughout the course you will need to reference the data in the ROI Excel spreadheet. Download it here.
Central question: Which major, business or engineering, will give the better ROI?
Using the ROI data set:
According to the textbook, what are the characteristics of a binomial experiment? Explain how the following scenario fits EACH of the requirements for a binomial experiment. Scenario: We randomly select 7 colleges from the business major and then record whether they are of “School Type’ “Private’ or not.
In a perfect normal distribution, if the mean is 23, what is the median? What is the mode?
For each of the 2 majors determine if the “Annual % ROI’ appears to be normally distributed. Use a histogram and the measures of central tendency (mean and median) to justify your results. #2 above is a big hint for how to justify whether the Annual ROI is normally distributed.
In a highlighted box, explain how having or not having a normal distribution for each of the majors may affect your ability to compare the data of the two majors. In a normal distribution, what percent of values falls 1 standard deviation from the mean? Two standard deviations from the mean? Three standard deviations from the mean? How does this relate to the central question?
