Case Information
Computer Input-Output Technologies that Link Pilots and Air
Traffic Controllers
Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and
Eurocontrol (Europe’s FAA) actively research, experiment with,
and deploy technologies in order to create a safer and more
efficient airspace system.
An example is Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications
(CPDLC), which in addition to the existing radio, creates a
second channel for communication between pilots and air traffic
controllers (ATC). Instead of keying the radio, ATC and pilots
type instructions and requests and send via text messaging. This
reduces ATC workload and frees up the radio channels for
important communications.

Empirical Research Methods for Business
Q1a) Price
The total samples are 120 and SPSS REGARD 100% of the
observations.
The mean amount of house in AUD (In $000s) is 886.575 based
on descriptive statistics with a standard error of 29.6344 from
the mean of the population. The confidence interval of the mean
between the upper bound of 945.3116 and the lower bound of
827.8384 is 95%.
The mean value is 886.5750 which is very close to the trimmed
mean value which is 876.7778. Through this, it shows that there
is a very small impact of the extreme values. 852.000 is the
median cost of the house which shows that the distribution
score is skewed slightly towards the lower end of the
distribution with 0.426 as the value as shown in the table on the
left side. 1761.00 is the maximum value of a house in a

17. population while 192.00 is the minimum value of a house in the
population. 324.94666 is the value of the standard deviation
which is slightly high in this phenomenon therefore, it means
that the prices of the houses are spread out over a wide range of
values.
The box plot here shows that the distribution is skewed towers
the left of the distribution graph this is because the box is closer
towards the lower end of the graph. Therefore, there is also an
individual large outlier, which is at the top of the line.
The significance of Kolmogorov-Smirnov is shown at 0.200 and
the significance of Shapiro-Wilk is at 0.116 as for the normality
test. The data can be stated to be normal distributed since both
of the values are above 0.05.
The histogram is not normally distributed and is skewed more
towards the left and it is asymmetric.
In conclusion, the indicated value of each house which is
plotted against the expected value of the normal distribution
does not bring a reasonably straight line therefore, indicating
that it’s not a normal distribution.

18. 1b) Lot Size
100% of the observations are regarded by SPSS whereby the
total samples are 120 as for the Lot size for the houses.
The mean size of the house in the data set is 1175.2250 which is
suggested by the descriptive statistics for the Lot Size 34.041
being the standard error from the mean of the population.
Between the upper bound of 1242.6296 and the lower bound of
1107.8204 there is a confidence interval of 95%.
1161.3796 is the trimmed mean value which is closer to
1174.2250 which is the mean value. It communicates that there
is a small level of impact of the extreme values. Since the
distribution score is skewed towards the lower end of the
distribution, therefore the median size of the house is 980.00
having a value of 0.838 as indicated in the figure on the left.
The maximum size of a house in the dataset is 1950.00 while its
minimum size is 632.00.The sizes of the houses varies over a
wide range of sizes since the standard deviation is rather higher
in this phenomenon and that is 372.90043.
Since the box is closer towards the lower end of the graph
therefore the box plot shows that the distribution is skewed
towers the left of the distribution graph. This means that there
are no outliers.
The significance of Kolmogorov-Smirnov is suggested to be at
0.000 while the significance of Shapiro-Wilk is at 0.000 since
both of these values are below 0.05 hence this is for the
normality test. Therefore, the data is regarded to be not
normally distributed

19. The histogram shows that is asymmetric and skewed more
towards the left as left side of the graph shows extremities at
the left therefore it is not normally distributed.
Since the line is not straight, it shows that it is not a normal
distribution because the QQ plot shows a large number datasets
falling out of the line when plotted against the expected value
of the normal distribution therefore it shows that it is not a
normal distribution.

Q1d) Condition
The data set cannot be measured since the condition of the
houses is considered ordinal. 15 houses are in poor condition
which makes up 12.5% of the population of 120 houses. 40
houses are in poor condition making up 33.3% of the
population, the majority of the houses are in good condition
with a total up to 42 of them making up 35% of the population.
Finally, 23 houses are in excellent condition making 19.2% of
the total population.
Q2)

22. The value of significance of K Kolmogorov-Smirnov is 0.01
while the value of significance of Shapiro-Wilk is 0.002
according to results from the normality test for distance to train.
This indicates that it is not normally distributed since both
values are less than 0.05.
Since a large portion of the values goes to high extremes, then
the histogram to distance to Train appears to be asymmetric.
Therefore, it shows that it is not normally distributed.

The Pearson Correlation shows that there is a very weak
relationship between the distance to the train and also including
the price of the houses.
The distance to the train station rarely can affect the price of
the houses.
By using the scatter plot for further test the hypothesis, it is
indicated that there is a weak linear relationship between the
distance of the house to the train station and the prices of the
house.
Since both the results show that the significance is zero then, as
per the normality test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk
normality test, it is indicated that it is not normally distributed.
The Histogram for distance to bus station is not normally
distributed since it appears to be asymmetric since there are
large extremities at both ends of the graph.

Per the Pearson Correlation results between the distances to the

weak negative relationship at only negative 0.024.

25. The Scatter Plot results of the distance to the bus stations and
the prices of the houses indicate that the data points are spread
unevenly on the diagram with no patterns. Therefore, there is a
very weak linear relationship and little correlation too.
Q3)
Cronbach’s Alpha from reliability statistic indicates 0.923 as a
result. Since 0.923 values is above 0.9 then it is regarded to
have an excellent level of internal consistency of scale.
Moreover, by eliminating one or more variables the reliability
of the statistic can be increased.
By through deleting Q8 which is the highest value at 0.928, will
further increase the Cronbach’s Alpha value.
Through deleting off Q8 results in the Cronbach’s Alpha an
increase to 0.926 from 0.923 is significant. Though it is being
considered to be an excellent level of internal consistency of

26. scale, therefore, the value can be increased by eliminating off
another variable.
To increase the Cronbach’s Alpha value, while judging from the
dataset, Q11 would be the highest value at 9.13, deleting this
variable, will increase Cronbach’s Alpha value.
When you delete both variables Q8 and Q11 the Cronbach’s
Alpha value will increase to 0.931 from 0.926.
Since the Cronbach’s Alpha is above 0.9, it is considered to
have an excellent level of internal consistency of scale and
eliminating off a variable to increase the Cronbach’s Alpha
value is not allowed. If that happens then the dataset suggest
that the next variable to eliminate off would be Q9.

Title of Paper
Thesis: Begin with your thesis statement which is the first
section of the outline. It is an introduction to what your paper
or presentation are about and sets the stage for the listener or
reader. The thesis statement is the central idea of the paper and
it is recommended that be written as a complete sentence. The
thesis statement should indicate the point of view or argument
that you are making regarding the topic. Remember to double
space everything.
I. Major points should receive upper case Roman numerals and
should appear as far to the left as your computer will allow you
to put them.
a. Subpoints are indented.
b. Please remember that if you have a I, you must also have a II.
i. If you have an “a”, you must also have a “b”.
ii. If you have a 1, you must also have a 2, and so forth.
1. Of course, having an "a" means that you must also have a
"b."
2. See the meaning? Outlines observe a principle of
parallelism.
II. And then you give another main point at the left margin.
a. The farther to the left an item appears, the more general it
will be.
b. The farther to the right a point appears, the more specific it
will be.
c. Thus areas of white space on your outline provide a key to
understanding the relationships between assertions related to the
thesis (topic sentences) and information that supports those
assertions.
III. Furthermore, the outline assignment gives you an

28. opportunity to organize your argument before you cast it in a
full draft, which would be the next step in the writing process.
a. You will be able to see the relationships between ideas more
easily.
b. You should also be able to notice if parts of the outline are
out of place.
c. In short, the outline assignment enables you to show me your
project at a stage when problems are highly fixable.
d. I strongly encourage you to take the fullest possible
advantage of this opportunity to further your thinking and to get
feedback.
IV. Finally, include a conclusion to draw ideas together.
a. Think of your essay as if it were a circle. You started at one
point and now (in the conclusion) you need to bring everything
back around again to complete the loop.
b. Techniques a student can use to craft a strong conclusion
include:
i. Restate and re-affirm your position.
ii. Offer a solution to a problem.
iii. Make a recommendation for a course of action.
iv. Summarize your major points.
v. Restate your thesis.
c. And, again, if you have an “a”, make sure that you have a
“b”.
