Exp19 Excel Ch08 Cap Golden State 5K

Excel Chapter 8 Capstone – Golden State 5K

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.

Create a three page with three references other than your text. Explain how the concepts of risk control and quality are related within the project management discipline.  How do the two knowledge areas impact one another?  Explain the work in these two areas from a strategic perspective.

Requirements:

• There is no minimum or maximum required number of pages. Your response will be considered complete, if it addresses each of the components outlined above.
• Use of proper APA formatting and citations – If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. A minimum of 7 sources (excluding the course textbook) from scholarly articles or business periodicals is required.
• Include your best critical thinking and analysis to arrive at your justification.

WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT – PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS

Week 4 Assignment – Project Recommendations

Overview

For this assignment, you will create a response to the following memo from your Project Manager:

MemoFrom: The PMTo: Members of the project teamAttached is the Gantt chart for the project. As you can see, we have a tight schedule. Please review it and comment on your area, as we know the coming project will be challenging. With everyone’s help, though, I’m sure we can pull this off with a minimum of scope creep. I look forward to hearing from you before the meeting on Tuesday.This project involves moving our current in-house system to a cloud solution. We are not sure yet if we’re going to partner with an outside company to manage the cloud services or if we’re going to just rent space on Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or other cloud services. I’ll expect a recommendation from each of you based on your area of expertise. Do your research and provide me the pros and cons of the option you are recommending. Be sure to share where you got that information, so I can take a look at your reasoning if I have questions. DO NOT just cut and paste what you find, but rather explain the pros and cons in your own words.

Instructions

Respond in a memo using the Word document template provided. There should be two parts to your response.

Part 1

The first part of your response is based on the research you complete determining whether to go with a company to manage cloud services or to rent space with one of the well-established cloud services. Include the following:

• A list of the pros and cons of both options. You should have at least two pros and cons for each option. 
• Your recommendation is supported by your research. 
• A list of the sources that informed your recommendation. Be sure that these sources are varied and from a variety of relevant perspectives. They should also be credible sources. For example, what Google claims their cloud service will do may not be the experience of a business using their service. In the same way, a small business may have a different experience with the same service a large business uses.

Part 2

The second part is the additions needed to the Gantt chart in your area of expertise. Consider what steps will need to occur in your area in order to make this project possible. Consider also the time it will take to complete each of the subtasks, keeping in mind the overall timeline of the project. Include the following:

• A list of subtasks that need to be added to your area of the Gantt chart. (For example, if you’re a networking specialist, you’ll need to decide what you’re going to do with the network to support the project. Are you going to hire an outside company to expand your network? Do you have the bandwidth you’ll need now that the system is going to be located in the cloud? How much time do you need to purchase equipment like an additional router or a better firewall?)
• A breakdown of any equipment that will be needed for each subtask and when it will need to be installed.

Here are some questions to consider for each role as you write your response memo:If you’re the IT Project manager, you’ll need to get recommendations from others on the team and then make your recommendation to the PM. What are the main considerations? You’ll need to research and come up with some options.If you’re the data analyst, do your research and find out what this transition will look like to the users in the company and your company’s clients/customers.If you’re the cybersecurity expert, what concerns do you have, and which methods will you use to secure the network and the cloud solution? What does the partner service provide, and what will we need to do/know in the company, and what training will be needed for users?If you’re a software designer, what interface will you need to create/adopt? How will the software you’re using now change if we relocate to the cloud?If you’re a data manager, how will the database platform change/adapt to the relocation? How will the data be packaged, secured, stored, transported, backed up, etc.?

An ANOVA is when we want to run a means test on more than 2 groups. However, the same basic structure of the hypothesis testing that we have done remains.

Using the hockey data, test if there is a difference between the true average number of goals scored by the different divisions. Second, test if there is a difference between the actual mean number of goals allowed by teams of different quality (where teams with at least 100 points are the top tier, those with 90-99 are the middle tier, and those with less than 90 make up the bottom tier).

If either of these tests shows significance, run a multiple comparison test among the groups. (Note that this is essentially the two-sample testing we just did but with an adjustment to ensure that we don’t have inflated error probabilities.) Use a 0.05 significance level for all tests.

As you do this for your own data set, ensure that at least one of the two problems shows the significance and requires pairwise comparisons. My suggestion is to not test more than 3 or 4 groups, but there’s nothing that says you can’t have more groups than that.
