Project Description:

You are a volunteer for the Golden State 5k, an annual 5k held across several cities in California to raise money for at risk youth. As part of your duties, you track donations, volunteer information, and race results. This year you have decided to use Excel to calculate frequency distribution by age and time, calculate various descriptive statistics, and forecast participation rate as well as donation rate for 2025.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch08_Cap_GoldenState5k.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

Ensure the RaceResults worksheet   is active, then use the FREQUENCY function to calculate the frequency   distribution of the race results in column D. Place your results in the range   G4:G9.

Enter a function in cell F22 to   calculate the correlation between age (Columns C) and race time (Column D).

Enter a function in cell G22 to   calculate the covariance between age and race time. 

Enter a function in cell H22 to   calculate the variance of the ages in the data set. Note this is a sample of   data not a population.

Enter a function in cell I22 to   calculate the standard deviation of the ages in the data set.

Ensure the Data Analysis ToolPak   add-in is active. Use the Data Analysis ToolPak to create a histogram with   chart output starting in cell H12 based on the ages of the runners surveyed.   Use the range F13:F18 as the Bin Range. Ensure that Chart output and   Cumulative percentage is included in the results. Place the upper left hand   corner of the chart in cell L13.

Ensure the VolunteerInfo   worksheet is active. Use the Data Analysis ToolPak to perform a single factor   ANOVA on the range C5:E21 (Including column lables). Place the results   starting in cell G5. 

Create a Forecast Sheet that   depicts year over year growth in participation for the city of Los Angeles.   Set the Forecast end year as 2025 and place the results on a new worksheet named 2025Forecast.

Ensure the Participants   worksheet is active then create a scatter plot chart that places the   Participant observations on the X axis and the Donation dollars on the Y axis   (do not include column headings). Add the chart title Participant   Forecast and a   linear trendline to the chart that also shows the Equation and the R-square.

Enter a function in cell F6 to   calculate the intercept of the linear trendline created in the prior step.

Enter a function in cell G6 to   calculate the Slope of the linear trendline.

Enter a function in cell H6 to   calculate the R-square of the linear trendline.

Enter a function in cell I6 to   calculate the Standard Error. 

Use the FORECAST.LINEAR function   in cell F9 to forecast potential donations once the goal of 20,000   participants is reached. Format the results as Currency.

Complete your analysis by adding   formulas in the range G9:H9 to calculate the high and low thresholds of the   forecast.

Abstract of a Quantitative Research Article

 The term “abstract” is a homophone which can mean one of two scholarly writing activities. On, is the abstract that you will write to introduce your dissertation. The other meaning is a shortened writing assignment whereby you write a condensed summary of an academic journal. 

Open a new Microsoft Word document, Microsoft Excel document, or use the provided template to complete the following tasks. Tony Prince

Open a new Microsoft Word document, Microsoft Excel document, or use the provided template to complete the following tasks.

Tony Prince and his team are working on the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. They have been asked to refine the existing cost estimate for the project so they can evaluate supplier bids and have a solid cost baseline for evaluating project performance. Recall that your schedule and cost goals are to complete the project in 6 months for under $200,000.

Use the Cost Estimate template and Cost Baseline template to assist with this assignment.

Tasks

Prepare and upload a 1-page cost model for this project using spreadsheet software. Use the following work breakdown structure (WBS), and document your assumptions in preparing the cost model. Assume a labor rate of $100 per hour for the project manager and $60 per hour for other project team members. Assume that none of the work is outsourced, labor costs for users are not included, and there are no additional hardware costs. The total estimate should be $200,000.

Using the cost model you created in the first task, prepare a cost baseline by allocating the costs by WBS for each month of the project.

Assume that you have completed 3 months of the project. The BAC was $200,000 for this 6-month project. You can also make the following assumptions:

PV=$120,000

EV=$100,000

AC=$90,000

What is the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index (CPI), and schedule performance index (SPI) for the project?

Use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion (EAC) for this project. Is the project performing better or worse than planned?

Use the SPI to estimate how long it will take to finish this project.

After completing your charts, write a 150-word follow-up in which you complete the following:

Explain how the project is doing based on the CPI and SPI. Is it ahead of schedule or behind? Is it under budget or over?

Describe the strategies or steps that should be taken for human resource management to avoid additional costs.

Describe the strategies or steps that should be taken for resource activity management to avoid additional costs.

Recommend 2 tools to support these strategies and explain why these tools would be beneficial.

Submit your cost model, course baseline, and follow-up.

The primary purpose of Internet-connected devices has been to enable people to communicate with each other and access online data and processes. The main purpose of IoT devices is to generate real-time data that we can then analyze and use to create desired business outcomes.

Explain the growth opportunities  IoT has created and the payback (ROI) and business value for the emerging IoT?
