This was an ISU project for my Data Management class in which we had to pull data and analyze it. We then had to compare the results and explain them.

12. ONE VARIABLE ANALYSIS INDEPENDENT VARIABLE LEVEL OF EDUCATION ACHIEVED DATA: a ranking from 1-10 based on level of education Q 1 – 1.5(IQR) = -4.5 Outliers < -4.5 Q 3 + 1.5 (IQR) = 15.5 Outliers > 15.5 There are no Outliers OUTLIER CALCULATIONS 2.5 % SIQR 5 % IQR 8 % Q 3 3 % Q 1 0.54 Z – SCORES 8.25 VARIANCE 2.872 STANDARD DEVIATION 10 % MAXIMUM 1 % MINIMUM 9 % RANGE N/A MODE 5.5 % MEDIAN 5.5 % MEAN

14. ONE VARIABLE ANALYSIS DEPENDENT VARIABLE : UNEMPLOYMENT MEAN = 5.44%. This means that the average unemployment in Canada is 5.44%. However, the average unemployment rate in Canada is 6.0% in 2007. But in 2008, the unemployment rate rose to 8.0%, possibly due to the oncoming recession at that time. Therefore, the mean rate that is calculated from the set of data is actually lower than the statistical unemployment rate and is not actually that high. Q 1 – 1.5(IQR) = 2.7 % Outliers < 2.7 Q 3 + 1.5 (IQR) = 7.7 % Outliers > 7.7 % 2.6 % and 11.1 % are outliers OUTLIER CALCULATIONS 1% SIQR 2 % IQR 6.2 % Q 3 4.2 % Q 1 0.898 Z – SCORES 5074 VARIANCE 2.25 STANDARD DEVIATION 11.1 % MAXIMUM 2.6 % MINIMUM 8.5 % RANGE N/A MODE 5.1 % MEDIAN 5.44 % MEAN

16. ONE VARIABLE ANALYSIS DEPENDENT VARIABLE : EMPLOYMENT Canada’s statistical employment rate is 63.6% as of 2008. The calculated mean in this case study is 69.25%, which indicates that the theoretical employment rate is higher than it actually is. Q 1 – 1.5(IQR) = 53.45 % Outliers < 53.45 % Q 3 + 1.5 (IQR) = 89.95 % Outliers > 89.95 % 38.1 % is an outlier OUTLIER CALCULATIONS 1% SIQR 2 % IQR 6.2 % Q 3 4.2 % Q 1 -0.459 Z – SCORES 129.05 % VARIANCE 11.36 % STANDARD DEVIATION 78.9 % MAXIMUM 38.1 % MINIMUM 40.8 % RANGE N/A MODE 74.75 % MEDIAN 69.25 % MEAN
