Applying Analytic Techniques to Business

You will need to use my prior assignment of the graphs please, and I have uploaded it called “Bus Analytics Info”*

You will write a 6-page analytics report by interpreting the graphs and statistics from the prior assignment, and explicitly connecting those interpretations to implications in the practical business context.

The first step in creating meaningful information from raw data is to represent the data effectively in graphical format and to calculate any required statistics. The second step is interpreting and explaining those graphs and statistics in order to apply them in the business context for clarity.

In the previous assignment, you were asked to create the first part of your analytics report by preparing graphs and calculating some descriptive statistics. For this assignment, you will complete your analytics report by interpreting those graphs and statistics and connecting those interpretations explicitly to implications in the business context, so that it can be understood via a report structure.

In this assignment, you will learn the essential elements that should be included in a report at this level of detail and you will create your own analytics report addressing the business problem you have been working on.

Scenario:
My supervisor has asked me to prepare a report for the quarterly company meeting. The first part of the task was to download the data and create scatterplots and histograms and to calculate the mean, median, and mode of the stock prices that I presented graphically in my report for the last assignment. This time though, my task is to analyze and interpret those graphical representations of the company stocks and to write a report about my findings for my supervisor.

My role is to turn data into meaningful information through the use of descriptive statistics and analysis by using the last assignment.

Instructions:
Complete this report as follows:

For each graph, that you created in the last assignment, write at least one paragraph interpreting each graph.
-What does that graph represent?
-What does the shape of the graph tell you about how the data has changed over time?

For each statistic, that you calculated, provide at least one sentence explaining what the statistic represents.
-What does the mean tell you?
-What does it imply if the median is different from the mean?
-What does the standard deviation tell you about the volatility of the data?

Write a conclusion section in which you explain how these interpretations can be used in the company:
-What are some trends about which company leaders should be aware?
-How might the information you have provided be used to inform business decisions?
-How will you connect those interpretations explicitly to implications for the practical business context?

ASSIGNMENT REPORT:
Create a 6-page report (not including title page or reference page) containing:

-An APA-formatted title page.

-A section labeled “Graphical Representations of Data” that includes the four graphs you created as well as your interpretations of each graph.
For each graph, that you created in the last assessment, write at least one paragraph interpreting the graph. (4 paragraphs, for 4 graphs, using questions below)
-What does that graph represent?

-What does the shape of the graph tell you about how the data have changed over time?

-A section labeled “Descriptive Statistics” with the statistics you calculated as well as your interpretations of the statistics.
-What does the mean tell you?
-What does it imply if the median is different from the mean?

-What does the standard deviation tell you about the volatility of the data?

-A one-page conclusion in which you describe the potential business applications of the data and your interpretations. (Within the conclusion, the questions need to be addressed and accurate answers provided.)
-What are some trends about which company leaders should be aware?
-How might the information you have provided be used to inform business decisions?

-How will you connect those interpretations explicitly to implications for the practical business context?

-An APA-formatted references page. Remember to cite the source of your financial data.

Additional Requirements:
-Include APA-formatted in-text citations where appropriate.

• Follow the typical double-spaced analytics report format.
  -Make sure your written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
