1. management information system
management exercise and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
This assignment requires the Class Survey Data File.( CSF_S2023_SEC)
Below are 3 files: follow the Directions (1) to complete the assignment using the Survey
Data Set and the Excel CI Calculator (2), and then submit your work using the Assignment
Submission Form (3) via the appropriate link --
Requirements: complete all the requirement
Open the Excel Descriptive Statistics Calculator sheet and Enable Editing if asked to do so.
Directions
A. COMPLETING the DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS for RAW DATA TABLE
From the Excel “Survey Dataset” sheet:
(Access by Clicking on Class Survey Data File
on the Homepage)
1. Copy & Paste the data from the Excel column with the Column Letter that is the same as
the First Letter of your Last Name into Column A of the Descriptive Stats Calculator.
● Example: if your last name is Butterfly, use data from Column B
● Example: if your last name is Zookeeper, use the data from Column Z
● Include the Column Heading (Example: GPA or # of Units)
2. After pasting the data into column A the Descriptive Statistics Table should auto
complete.
B. CREATING A PIVOT TABLE
● See Below, Pivot Tables and Graphs!
● Format the table: proper column and row headings and no Grand Total (See
video)
C. CREATING A GRAPH
● See Below, Pivot Tables and Graphs!
● Format the graph. See next page, Elements of a Good Graph
Pivot Tables and Graphs!
● Pivot table option greyed out? You cannot make a pivot table or graph on the provided
Descriptive
Calculator Sheet because it is protected. You need to copy and paste your data to a new
sheet
○ Copy your Data

2. ○ Either open a new workbook or click on
the circled “+” sign on the bottom of the
screen to open a new sheet.
○ Paste your data on the new page.
○ The new workbooksheet is not protected, allowing you to use the pivot table
function and graph.
● Unfamiliar with Pivot Tables/Graphing in Excel? See the Pivot Tables and Graphing
Videos posted in
the Additional Material area of this week’s module, specifically the 3rd example with
numerical data
in the first Pivot Table video.
WHY TABULATEGRAPH DATA? ELEMENTS OF A GOOD
GRAPH/CHART
● Simplify information ● Choose the right type of
chart
● Read “unreadable” large data sets ● Use an informative title
● Look for patterns ● Label each axis if doing so adds
clarity
● Order and organize information ● Use a LegendKey if it adds clarity
● Comparison purposes ● Add design elements wisely
● Improve ability to find relevant information ● Keep the graph clean: don’t
overload the
in a timely manner graph with too many tick marks,
too much
● Create new discussionsideas color, too many font styles
While very good, Excel’s tabulating and charting tools at times need to be improved upon.
When graphing you can click anywhere within a chart or click on Add Chart Element on the
ribbon bar to change elements within the chart.
Remember, we use tables and graphs to make our case and/or tell our story, and so along
those lines tables and graphs should be specifically identified/titled, clear, and easily
understandable.
Most Important: a graph or table should be “readable” without the reader having to search
back to the original data!
Keep the above in mind whenever (at least this semester!) working with an Excel table or
graph.

Directions:
You will create two confidences intervals and graphs, one using survey data from Your Class
and one using data from a Comparison Class (another MIS 301 section from this semester),
both of same measurement for your analysis.
Excel CI Calculator Sheet:
1 Enter the confidence level into the CI Calculator tables, where indicated (twice), as
follows,
based on the First Letter of your First Name:
○ A < --- > I, set confidence level = .90
○ J < --- > R, set the confidence level = .95
○ S < --- > Z, set the confidence level = .99
From the Class Survey Data File:
2 YOUR CLASS DATA (From the Excel sheet named: Survey Dataset)
○ Based on the First Letter of your Last Name copy & paste the data from the
Column
with the same Heading Letter into Column A of the Excel CI Calculator sheet.*
○ Include the Column Heading (ex: GPA, # of Units, etc.).
3 COMPARISON CLASS DATA (From the Excel sheet named: CI_Comparison Class)
○ Based on the First Letter of your Last Name copy & paste the data from the
Column
with the same Heading Letter into Column B of the Excel CI Calculator sheet.*
○ Include the Column Heading (ex: GPA, # of Units, etc.).

4. *Example: if your last name is Mango, use data from Column M
if your last name is Zookeeper, use the data from Column Z
The CI Output Table and CI Graph will auto complete, creating confidence intervals and a
graph of the same measurement from Your Class and a Comparison Class for your analysis.
Submitting:
1 In writing your response in the upper right box, address the Statement Prompt located
at the
top of the Submission Form.
2 Copy & Paste the CI graph into the upper left box of Submission Form.
