Statistical Analysis of Website Use
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper analyzing a study and suggesting descriptive statistics that could have been used in data analysis. Thomson (2001) sought to determine whether the existence of community networks enhances the social capital in rural Scotland. She chose to study a single community network site, assessing the qualities of the site and surveying visitors’ reactions and comments. The notion that a local web site can positively contribute to the social capital of an area is a perspective that communities in any area of the world could use to build social capital.

Statistically Assessing Effectiveness of a Gas Additive
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper offering a study design for assessing the claims of the manufacturer of a gas additive that users will achieve a minimum of 25 percent increased fuel efficiency with the use of its product. The purpose here is to identify appropriate statistical tests of data, including ANOVA, Chi-square and similar statistical techniques.. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Statistically Assessing Quality at Wilson Tire
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper finding the design shortcomings of a test of tire longevity and discussing appropriate statistical measures that should be used. Winston Tire Company claims its new tires last for 40,000 miles. This is presented not as a guarantee of minimum mileage purchasers can expect, but rather as an average. An independent agency road-tested 100 tires in an effort to evaluate the company’s claims, creating a sample of n = 100. An independent testing agency has tested Wilson tires and found them lacking, but the truth is that the study is so poorly designed that the agency cannot make any definitive determination about the quality of Wilson tires. The purpose here is to identify appropriate statistical tests of data. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Testing Dow Chemical’s Commitment to the Triple Bottom Line
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper elaborating on the problem statement, hypotheses, sampling and statistical method used in the companion paper, KSmgmtDowTBL.rtf. The proposed method is that of applying regression analysis to Dow’s stock price performance after April 1994, the date that the company announced it would halt production of 1,1,1 trichloroethane by December 1995, years in advance of the cessation required either by international treaty by 2005 or by the US 1990 Clean Air Act by 2002. The goal is to determine whether Dow’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainability correlates with financial performance (i.e., the triple bottom line). Bibliography lists 8 sources. Includes an appendix containing expenditures 1993-2002 for environmental restoration and prevention, and another containing stock price data for the sample period.
