You are expected to explicitly address the requirements associated with this application assignment, which involves the solving of case-based problems and briefly writing up the results.

The product associated with this assignment will include:

• Microsoft Excel spreadsheetwith a separate tab created for each assigned problem. You will use the statistical functions (fx) in Microsoft Excel to solve the assigned problems and provide a brief write up of your answerone or two sentences.

There will be times where you'll be asked to graphically display data. When this is required, you'll be expected to use Excel to create the graphs, charts, or diagrams. Problems not solved using the statistical functions in Excel will not receive credit even if the answers are correct.

Case-Based Problems

You'll be solving 10 case-based problemsto be assigned by the instructorand contained within theWeek 1 Application Assignment Excel spreadsheet Download Week 1 Application Assignment Excel spreadsheet. Once you have your mathematical answer, you will provide a brief write-up of your answer in the space provided.For example, let's say you are asked to determine the mean of a dataset containing 20 observations and one variable called "scores". Using the AVERAGE function, you determine the mean to be 88.6 out of a possible 100. You might write, "The average score was 88.6 for the 20 participants included in the dataset."In statistics, it is not only important that you get the correct answer, but you must become comfortable writing up your answers so that they are clearly understood by the readers/audiences.
