Research Report Assessment
BSB123 Data Analysis
Notes on the Assessment
Covers Topics 1 – 10 i.e. descriptive statistics to Multiple
Regression
Assignment is based around the international student
recruitment industry looking specifically at students interested
in postgraduate studies in USA
All 500 observations on spreadsheet are for international
students
Variables are all related to factors which affect chance of being
admitted and your job is to analyse this so that the company
(GES) can advise future students about what to do and what
their chances are of being admitted.
Report is split so that in each section you look at different
aspects
You will need to do a summary incorporating elements of all of
the parts to make recommendations.
Marks reflect (generally) the amount of work you need to do.

What am I looking for?
Can you select the correct technique / analysis to solve the
question
Is that technique correctly and FULLY applied with calculations
done correctly
E.g. in a hypothesis test, did you:
Correctly identify the test statistic (Z, T, F, χ2)
Did you include accurate hypotheses and decision rule which
are consistent with each other
Were the calculations correct
Did you check to see if the assumptions or conditions of the test
held
OR for Descriptive Statistics did you:
Consider all aspects of how you describe data and use the
appropriate statistics to do that
Choose correct graph(s) for the type of data
Summarise the results to actually describe what you found – not
just quote the stats.
Can you interpret the results – not just make a decision or
complete a calculation.
Can you express the result in terms of the question and in a way
which is understandable to your audience
In other words you will not get full marks unless you can
correctly select the right approach to take for the data given,

accurately and fully apply that analysis in a way which logically
leads to a conclusion, make the conclusion in terms of the
problem presented and then communicate that solution
concisely and clearly
Examples from THA 4
H0: ≤ 700
H1: > 700
What is wrong with this?
Include title of analysis – t-Test: Two Sample Assuming
Unequal Variances
5
Examples from THA 4
Look at t stat – all wrong – copied from somewhere – multiple
students all getting it wrong
P and t test – do one
Used population terminology not sample

P-value – what is it?
6
Hypothesis Test
State the Hypotheses in terms of the parameter (µ,σ,p)
Identify the correct probability distribution (t, z, F, χ2)
Identify level of significance
State decision rule clearly
Use either test statistic method (i.e. in terms of t or z etc) or in
terms of p-value. Don’t need to do both.
Decision rule must be consistent with hypotheses
Do calculations
Use either Excel to get solutions where available
Do the calculations to get test statistics e.g. tcalc or zcalc
Make the decision in terms of the question
Check if the conditions of the analysis hold – i.e. did you do a
valid test
Regression
Conduct a regression analysis to determine which factors affect
a students chance of admission. In undertaking the analysis do
this in three steps:
Regress all variables and conduct all tests necessary to
determine which variables should be included in an optimal
model.
Re-estimate your chosen model from a. Interpret all necessary
statistics and conduct all necessary tests.
State your estimated equation and interpret the coefficient of
the first and last variable you have included. Use the estimated
equation to predict the chance of admission for a Male student
from Brazil with a CGPA of 8.5, a TOEFL of 110, a GRE of
320, no letter of recommendation, an interview score of 15 and

who came from a mid rated (level 3) university which did not
require a research project.
(20 Marks)
Regression Process
Consider the explanatory variables to determine which are
likely to affect the dependent variable of interest. This can be
done by:
Considering the theoretical logic of whether a variable is
sensible
Graphing X against Y to see if they are related linearly
Looking at the correlation matrix (multiple regression)
State the model to be estimated including expectations
What is Y, what is X1, X2 etc and what would you expect to be
the direction of the relationship
Determine the strength of the relationship
Test separately the overall significance of the model and each
of the individual variables included
State and test the assumptions of the model
Clearly articulate which variables are useful or not, and why
and then redefine the model using those you believe should be
included.
Compare results of new model to old by redoing all previous
steps 2 - 6.
Once final model is determined you can state and interpret
estimated equation and use it to predict (if required).

Analysis and Summary Report
Last Semester
Write a brief report to management describing what you have
found in non-technical language. The report can be no longer
than 250 words. Include any recommendation you would like to
make about income determination and hiring practices.
Student 1 – Weak Answer
It was determined that GPA is of clear importance as it has an
undeniable importance in the determination of income for new
and existing employees.
Gender presents an issue as a current social issue is to ensure
equal pay for all genders. Our analysis has indicated that the
male staff are earning an extra $2000. This is an issue as it
doesn’t present the equal pay requirement.
Additionally, it was found that as your staff’s age increases,
their salary increases at approximately $770 per year.
Furthermore, this is in line with the generally accepted
increases in wages as per general wages awards. (Note this
student concluded in an earlier question that age was not an
important factor!)
Student 2 – Stronger Answer.
There was insufficient evidence to conclude that there is any
difference in the performance on the company test between
males and females. However, there is evidence to show that
despite males not seeming to outperform females, they are paid
significantly more (just over $5000). (All statements are
consistent with earlier analyses)
What I was looking for
In terms of remuneration there is evidence that males are being
paid more than their female counterparts possibly even more
than $5000 on average. Other tests have indicated there is no
difference in performance between the genders in terms of

results on the test and job performance. While other tests have
shown that job performance (Test scores), higher degrees and
age all effect income (as expected), given there is no difference
in job performance this is an area of inequality which needs to
be addressed. It does not seem to be a recruitment issue with
equal numbers of males and females employed, so it is a
remuneration issue.
Hints
Check for consistency. If you do something in regression that
overlaps with something you did earlier are the results the same.
IF not, does that represent an issue?
If we can’t see how or why you have done something, then we
don’t know if you are thinking correctly. Even if you use Excel
just show the output or briefly describe what you did.
You have weeks to do this assessment so presentation shoul d be
professional and terminology accurate.
This is not a small assessment – it will take time. Don’t leave it
until the last weekend.
Use consultation this week and next to ask questions. We won’t
answer specific questions on the research report, but you can be
clever in how you ask questions which might lead us to give
appropriate direction.
A great deal of the work done on the research report will be
repeated in the exam. This is a good chance to practice for the
major assessment item.

Research Report Assessment
Semester 2, 2021
Due Date: 11:59 Sunday 24th October
The data for the Assignment can be found in the file Research
Report Graduate Admissions Data.xlsx on Blackboard
The Problem
International Education is a major industry worldwide with
countries like Australia, the UK, Canada,the US, Germany,

China and Malaysia combined accepting hundreds of thousands
or international students each year. This is particularly true in
the post graduate education space.
Globally there are many companies that act as agents for
international students wanting to gain admissions to programs
in other countries. Global Education Services (GES) is one such
company and it is paricularly interested in the most important
factors impacting admissions to graduate programs in the United
States.
GES collected data on 500 students, which they then provided
to admissions offices across a range of institutions for a
response on the likelihood of admission. Responses from the
various universities were gathered and used to determine a
Chance of Admission score for each student.
Information was collected on 10 variables with a snapshot of
the data set provided in the table below. Note the full data set
which you should use is given in the Excel Spreadsheet
provided:
· Chance of Admit - % rating with the higher the number the
greater the chance of acceptance
· GRE Score – US college entrance score
· TOEFL Score – English language test score
· University Rating – Rating assessment of the university in
which the student did their bachelor’s degree – 5 is highest.
· Interview Score – out of 20
· Letter of Recommendation – Yes or No
· CGPA – Adjusted Bachelors GPA out of 10
· Research – did the Bachelo’rs degree require a research
project, Yes or No
· Gender – Male or Female

· Region – Did student come from a nearby Region - Americas
or Other
You have been asked to provide a report to GES on the most
important factors in obtaining admission in order for them to
better advise students
GRE Scores
Globally the mean GRE score is 306 with a standard deviation
of 11. Global Education Services (GES) believes that
international students are a special group when it comes to
GRE. Whereas every US student interested in entering graduate
programs will undertake the GRE, International students are
more selective because they have to pay for applications and
hence they need to be more confident about their results. As
such GES is of the opinion that international students are likely
to have a better performance on the GRE and a more consistent
one.
1. Describe in detail the GRE results for international students
using appropriate numerical and graphical methods.
(7 Marks)
2. Conduct a test to determine if the average GRE result for
international students is higher than the global mean of 306.
(5 Marks)
3. Conduct at test to see if the consistency of international
students on the GRE is better than the global average – i.e. the
variance is lower.
(5 Marks)
4. It is reasonable to expect that performance on the GRE and
the Chance of Admission would be related to each other.
Construct a graph relating GRE and Chance of Admission and
calculate an approriate statistic to help describe the relationship

between the two variables. Briefly describe the relationship.
(5 Marks)
5. Based on Questions 1. to 4. briefly indicate if you believe
GES’s opinion of International Student performance on the GRE
is correct including the reason why.
(3 Marks)
Projects
As countries have moved to increase the number of students
undertaking Bachelor Degree programs pressure has come on
many institutions to reduce or remove the major research
project requirement for students at undergraduate level.
6. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of
universities which now require a major research project for
graduation. If 60% of universities used to require a research
project what does this imply about the proposition that
institutions are removing the research requirement.
(5 Marks)
7. Conduct a test at the 5% level of significance to see if the
proportion of universities requiring projects has fallen.
(5 Marks)
8. Compare the results in part 6. and 7. Which is the better
result to use and why.
(2 Marks)
Chance of Admission
9. While we would hope that there was no bias in admissions
test at the 10% level of significance if the average chance of
admission is different between Males and Females. Make sure
you undertake all checks and tests necessary in order to be able
to conduct this test.
(8 Marks)
10. Conduct a regression analysis to determine which factors
affect a students chance of admission. In undertaking the
analysis do this in three steps:
a. Regress all variables and conduct all tests necessary to

determine which variables should be included in an optimal
model.
b. Re-estimate your chosen model from a. Interpret all
necessary statistics and conduct all necessary tests.
c. State your estimated equation and interpret the coefficent of
the first and last variable you have included. Use the estimated
equation to predict the chance of admission for a Male student
from Brazil with a CGPA of 8.5, a TOEFL of 110, a GRE of
320, no letter of recommendation, an interview score of 15 and
who came from a mid rated (level 3) university which did not
require a research project.
(20 Marks)
Summary Report
11. Write a brief report to GES describing what you have found
in non-technical language. The report can be no longer than 200
words. Include your recommendations on the most important
things to advise prospective international students.
(5 Marks)
(70 Total Marks)
In answering all questions:
· Make sure you include any assumptions that are necessary.
· Wherever possible conduct tests to back up your answers or
use of procedures.
· Ensure that you include any relevant Excel results as part of
your analysis.
