Question

 Data Gathering Instrument Task: Create one (1) instrument that could be used to gather data for your mock dissertation topic. The instrument should be designed to be exactly how it would be deployed to collect data. Since instrumentation usually goes through several steps of field testing, for purposes of this assignment you can submit a deployment-ready draft of your instrument without field testing it. Be sure the instrument collects data appropriately to measure your research question. If your study will not use an instrument to collect data because your data is archival and already exists, you will discuss your process for data retrieval.

Word Search Python

 

Create a python script that will load homework7WordSearchKey.txt and use it to create a word search puzzle, then save that as homework7WordSearchPuzzle.txt. The example of this part was done in class; you may use as much of that as you like as long as you ensure it works on your computer.

Create a second python script that will load your homework7WordSearchPuzzle.txt as well as homework7WordSearchList.txt, and then search the puzzle you’ve created and recreate the block from homework7WordSearchKey.txt.

The horizontal words should be almost trivial. The vertical words will require some careful thought on how to manipulate the strings, and/or how to load the data. There is a single diagonal word that will likely be the most challenging. 

Your code should be able to find words that are in the word list without knowing in advance which direction they are facing (though no words will be backward).

* PROJECT STEPS

1. Takara Hiyashi is on the board of the Green Lake Sports Camp, a recreational summer camp in Syracuse, New York. She is using an Excel workbook to analyze the camp’s financials and asks for your help in correcting errors and solving problems with the data.
Go to the Teams worksheet. Takara asks you to correct the errors in the worksheet. Correct the first error as follows:

a. Use the Trace Precedents arrows to find the source of the #VALUE! error in cell C8.

b. Use the Trace Dependents arrows to determine whether the formula in cell C8 causes other errors in the worksheet.

c. Correct the formula in cell C8, which should add the baseball registration fee per person (cell C4) and the equipment fee (cell C7), and then multiply the result by the minimum number of campers (cell C6).

d. Remove the trace arrows.

2. Correct the Name error in cell C22 as follows:

a. Use any error-checking method to determine the source of the error in cell C22, which should calculate the average revenue per week.

b. Correct the error by editing the formula in cell C22.

3. Correct the divide by zero errors as follows:

a. Evaluate the formula in cell C18 to determine which cell is causing the divide by zero error.

b. Correct the formula in cell C18, which should divide the revenue per session (cell C16) by the minimum number of campers (cell C6).

c. Fill the range D18:G18 with the formula in cell C18. 

4. Takara suspects that the remaining divide by zero errors and the two negative values in the range E16:E18 are related to the zero value in cell E6. She wants to make sure that anyone entering the minimum number of campers enters a number greater than zero.
Add data validation to the range C6:G6 as follows:

a. Set a data validation rule for the range C6:G6 that allows only whole number values greater than 0.

b. Add an Input Message using Number of Campers as the Input Message Title and the following text as the Input message:
Enter the minimum number of campers for this session. 

c. Add an Error Alert using the Stop style, Campers Error as the Error Alert Title, and the following text as the Error message:
The minimum number of campers must be greater than 0. 

5. Identify the invalid data in the worksheet and correct the entry as follows:

a. Circle the invalid data in the worksheet.

b. Type 10 as the minimum number of campers for the lacrosse sessions (cell E6).

c. Verify that this change corrected the remaining divide by zero errors and resulted in positive values in the range E16:E18.

6. Go to the Private Lessons worksheet. This worksheet analyzes financial data for private and semi-private lessons, which the camp runs throughout the day. Takara has already created a scenario named Current Campers that calculates profit based on the current number of campers enrolled for each session. She also wants to calculate profit based on the maximum number of campers.
Add a new scenario to compare the profit with maximum enrollments as follows:

a. Use Max Campers as the scenario name.

b. Use the enrolled campers per day data (range C9:G9) as the changing cells.

c. Enter cell values for the Max Campers scenario as shown in bold in Table 1, which are the same values as in the range C8:G8.

* Table 1: Cell Values for the Max Campers Scenario

7. Takara also wants to calculate profit based on the minimum number of campers.
Add another new scenario to compare the profit with low session enrollment as follows: 

a. Add a scenario to the worksheet using Min Campers as the scenario name.

b. Use the enrolled campers per day data (range C9:G9) as the changing cells.

c. Enter cell values for the Min Campers scenario as shown in bold in Table 2.

* Table 2: Cell Values for the Min Campers Scenario

8. Show the Min Campers scenario values in the Private Lessons worksheet.

9. Go to the Revised Fees worksheet. Takara is considering whether to change the coaching fees for the private lessons. She has created three scenarios on the Revised Fees worksheet showing the profit with a $5 or $10 increase or a $5 decrease to the coaching fees.
Compare the average profit per session based on the scenarios as follows:

a. Create a Scenario Summary report using the average profit per session (range C11:G11) as the result cells to show how the average profit changes depending on the coaching fee changes. 

b. Use Revised Fees Scenario Report as the name of the worksheet containing the report.

10. Takara also wants to focus on one or two types of private lessons at a time when comparing the average profit per session. Return to the Revised Fees worksheet and create another type of report as follows:

a. Create a Scenario PivotTable report using the average profit per session (range C11:G11) as the result cells to compare the average profit depending on the fee changes in a PivotTable.

b. Use Revised Fees PivotTable as the name of the worksheet containing the PivotTable.

c. Format cells B4:F6 in the Revised Fees PivotTable worksheet using the Accounting number format with 0 decimal places and $ as the symbol.

11. Go to the Games worksheet. Takara wants to determine the number of games the camp can hold on Fridays and Saturdays to make the highest weekly profit without interfering with practices, which are also scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays and use the same resources.
Use Solver to find this information as follows:

a. Use the total weekly profit (cell H17, named Total_Weekly_Profit) as the objective cell in the Solver model, with the goal of determining the maximum value for that cell.

b. Use the number of Friday and Saturday games for the five sports (range C5:G6) as the changing variable cells.

c. Determine and enter the constraints based on the information provided in Table 3.

d. Use Simplex LP as the solving method to find a global optimal solution.

e. Save the Solver model in cell B27.

f. Solve the model, keeping the Solver solution.

* Table 3: Solver Constraints

Friday_Practices (E21)

 

The total number of Saturday practices   is 2 or less

Saturday_Practices (E22)

 

The total number of practices per week   is 5 or less

Total_Practices (E23)

12. Takara wants to document the answer Solver found, including the constraints and a list of the values Solver changed to solve the problem. Produce an Answer report for the Solver model as follows:

a. Solve the model again, this time choosing to produce an Answer report.

b. Use Games Answer Report as the name of the worksheet containing the Answer report.

Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. Save your changes, close the workbook, and then 

Exp19_Access_Ch02_ML2 – Prestige Hotel 1.0

 Exp19_Access_Ch02_ML2 – Prestige Hotel 1.0

  

Project Description:

The Prestige Hotel chain caters to upscale business travelers and provides state-of-the-art conference, meeting, and reception facilities. It prides itself on its international, four-star cuisine. Last year, it began a member reward club to help the marketing department track the purchasing patterns of its most loyal customers. All of the hotel transactions are stored in a database. Your task is to help the managers of the Prestige Hotels in Denver and Chicago identify their customers who stayed in a room last year and who had two persons in their party.

     

Start Access. Open the downloaded   Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch02_ML2_Hotel. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the   location where you are storing your files.

 

Import   the location data from the Excel file Location.xlsx   as a new table in the current database. Using the wizard, specify that the   first row contains column headings, set the LocationID field to be indexed   with no duplicates, and set the LocationID field as the primary key. Import   the table with the default name Location   and do not save the import steps.

 

View   the Location table in Design view and change the field size for the   LocationID field to Long Integer.   Save the table. Click Yes in the   dialog box indicating that some data may be lost. Close the table.

 

Add   the Location, Orders, Members, and Service tables to the Relationships window to begin establishing   relationships in the database. Close the Show Table dialog box. Create a   one-to-many relationship between the Location table and the Orders table   using the LocationID field. Enforce Referential Integrity. Select the option   to cascade update the related fields.

 

Create   a relationship between the Members and Orders tables using the MemNumber   field, ensuring that you enforce referential integrity and cascade update   related fields.

 

Create   a relationship between the Service and Orders tables using the ServiceID   field, ensuring that you enforce referential integrity and cascade update   related fields. Save and close the Relationships window.

 

Create   a new query in Design view using Location,   Members, Orders, and Service tables.   Add the following fields to the query (in this order): ServiceDate from the Orders table; City from the Location table, NoInParty from Orders table; ServiceName   from the Service table; and FirstName   and LastName from the Members   table. Set the criteria in city field to limit the output to Denver.

 

Display   only service dates from 7/1/2017   to 6/30/2018 (Hint: Use the Between command).

 

Set   the NoInParty criterion to 2.   Sort the results in ascending order by the ServiceDate. Run and save the   query with the name Denver Rooms 2 Guests.

 

Use   Design view to change the order of the query fields so that they display as   FirstName, LastName, ServiceDate, City, NoInParty, and ServiceName. Run, save   the changes to the query, and close the query.

 

Copy   the Denver Rooms 2 Guests query   and paste it in the Navigation pane, renaming the new query Chicago Rooms 2 Guests.

 

Open   the Chicago Rooms 2 Guests query   in Design view, and change the City criterion from Denver to Chicago.   Run the query and save the changes. Close the query.

 

Close   the database and exit Access. Submit the database as directed.
