I need an explanation for this Excel question to help me study.

4-9 As the head of a small insurance company with six employees, you are concerned about how effectively your company is using its networking and human resources. Budgets are tight, and you are struggling to meet payrolls because employees are reporting many overtime hours. You do not believe that the employees have a sufficiently heavy workload to warrant working longer hours and are looking into the amount of time they spend on the Internet. (page 155)

Each employee uses a computer with Internet access on the job. Review a sample of your company’s weekly report of employee web usage, which can be found in MyLab MIS (Please use the copy of the file attached here in pdf format.).

  1. Calculate the total amount of time each employee spent on the web for the week and the total amount of time that company computers were used for this purpose. Rank the employees in the order of the amount of time each spent online. (30 pts)
  2. Do your findings and the contents of the report indicate any ethical problems employees are creating? Is the company creating an ethical problem by monitoring its employees’ use of the Internet? (25 pts)
  3. Use the guidelines for ethical analysis presented in this chapter to develop a solution to the problems you have identified. (25 pts)

Complete 5 pages APA formatted article: A History of Modern Psychology. They share common believe and strive to accomplish a shared vision. In education, the learners keep their differences aside and are socially controlled by a common power, where they are believed to be active and industrious when they accomplish the common purpose of learning. The functionalists identify education as a path through which social control and the mainstream principles are passed on (Schultz & Schultz, 2008). For example, the mainstream standards of education in America mirror the political and economic aspects of society, which were fundamental to the development of education. For success to be accomplished, the rules and regulations have to be followed in learning.

Individualism and the sense of self-are significant principles that the functionalist theory focuses on in education. The result is that the schools reward individuals and not groups. The learners who score the best are rewarded and move to the next level. Even when the learners are involved in a team activity, individuals strive to emerge the best among the whole group, and he/she is the one that the society recognizes. Individualism leads to the development of personal identity and self-esteem. Laird (2007) observes that the overall result is competition among the learners, who are encouraged through reward schemes.&nbsp.The functionalist perspective also focuses on patriotism in school as a key factor contributing to the success of education. The students are taught to pledge their loyalty to the nation and its leadership as well as recognizing the heroes who have contributed to its growth. In essence, political aspects of the society are preserved through education.

I’m studying and need help with a Business question to help me learn.

Hello,

I need four responses of at least 175 words each for the below students discussions for this week. Also in the bold below are the questions the students at answering.

What is hypothesis testing? Explain the general process and the steps included in conducting a hypothesis test? What is the difference between parametric and nonparametric hypothesis testing?



Student one:

Hypothesis testing is common in math and science, but it is also a useful tool for business mangers, ‘good hypotheses lead decision-makers to new and better ways to achieve business goals.’ (Ogunjimi) Hypothesis testing is a statistical test used to determine whether the hypothesis assumed for the sample of data stands true for the entire population or not. (Hypothesis testing) From our text, we know that the data sets are called the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis describes an existing theory or a belief. The alternative hypothesis is based on new information provided by sample data. (Evans, 2013)

According to our text, there are five steps in a hypothesis test:

  1. Formulating the hypothesis to test. This step is where data sets, the Null and the Alternate Hypothesis are defined.
  2. Selecting a level of significance, which identifies the risk of drawing an incorrect conclusion about the assumed hypothesis that is actually true. Hypothesis testing can result in four possible outcomes. This step demonstrates the risk that the business is willing to take in making an incorrect conclusion.
  3. Determining a decision rule on which to base a conclusion. This step involves choosing which Test Statistic to use, examples include the one-tailed or two-tailed tests.
  4. Collecting data and calculating a test statistic; formulating the Decision Rule
  5. Applying the decision rule to the test statistic and drawing a conclusion. Make the decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Basically, the manager needs to decide what they’re trying to confirm. Next, they determine the level of risk that is acceptable, should they make a mistake. The third step is deciding how they will make their decision, ie. provide justification. They will then collect the data and apply the selected test to justify their decision. It is a formal process that helps guide managers in testing their ideas, providing risk awareness, and support for their decision.

The parametric test is the statistical test, in which specific assumptions are made about the population parameter. The nonparametric test is defined as the hypothesis test which is not based on underlying assumptions. There are many differences between these two tests, but I think the main difference between them is that the information about the population for the parametric test is completely known, for the nonparametric test, it is unavailable. (Updated, 2017)

I agree that hypotheses testing can be very useful in business. It seems to me they have made the process very scientific, which makes it easy to explain how the manager came to the conclusion, and shows whether it is or isn’t within the identified risk level. However, I don’t think the process guarantees the best conclusion.

Thank you,

Student two:

In chapter five I learned that hypothesis testing is a way of collecting data that involves two unidentical things. Evans’s defined hypothesis testing as a process that “involves drawing inferences about two contrasting propositions (hypotheses) relating to the value of a population parameter, such as a mean, proportion, standard deviation, or variance.

Using the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis a conclusion can be made as to whether or not a hypostasis is likely.

The basic process and the steps included in conducting a hypothesis test is to identify the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. Once those items are identified the size of the testing population needs to be determined. The statistical and probability values are then calculated to determining a decision rule-, and lastly applying the decision rule to the test statistic by coming to a conclusion based on the data collected.

Parametric testing is an option that is best used when the population parameter is determined or known. This means that the testing condition must be validated.

nonparametric hypothesis testing is the opposite, the population parameter is not known. nonparametric hypothesis testing is broader and can apply to more situations.

“The assumptions for the nonparametric test are weaker than those for the parametric test, and it has been stated that when the assumptions are not met, it is better to use the nonparametric test (Kitchen, Christina M.R.,).

Student three:

Hypothesis testing is basically drawing a conclusion about a population. One is a proposition that describes an already existing position while the other is new information that is gathered from the sample data. The sample data is then used to determine whether or not to reject the null hypothesis, which would mean that the sample data provided enough information to support the alternative hypothesis, or reject the null hypothesis, which means that the sample evidence did not support the null hypothesis (Evans, 2013).

The first step in hypothesis testing is formulating the hypotheses to test. Hypothesis formulation begins by “defining two alternative, mutually exclusive propositions about one or more population parameters” (Evans, 2013, p. 156). The next step would be to figure out the significance level of the test. The level of significance is the risk that can be afforded if an error is made. The levels that are commonly used are .10, .05, and .01 which coincides with the confidence levels of .90, .95 and .99 respectively. Once the significance level is decided on the decision rule is determined. The decision rule is a statement which defines the conditions which determines if the null hypothesis is rejected or not. Lastly, a decision has to be made based upon the hypothesis test whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Nonparametric and parametric tests have their advantages and its differences. “The nonparametric tests do not require that your data follow the normal distribution” (Frost, n.d.). Nonparametric tests are advisably used in instances if the data is not distributed normally. Nonparametric tests would include: 1-sample Sign, 1-sample Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney test, Kruska-Wallis, Mood’s median test and Friedman test. Parametrics tests would include: 1-sample t-test, 2-sample t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Factorial DOE with a factor and a blocking variable. The Parametric tests and Nonparametric tests are linked pairs of statistical hypothesis tests. The advantage of using parametric test is the fact that it can provide very trustworthy results even when the data is skew or abnormal, as long as the sample size meets the requirements for the specific test (Frost, n.d.). Parametric tests also have greater statistical power. Meaning, it can detect an effect if it exists. Nonparametric tests assess the median instead of the mean. The mean is not always the better way of determining the central tendency for a sample (Frost, n.d.). Nonparametric test can be used when the sample size is small or isn’t enough to satisfy the sample requirements for the parametric tests.

Student four:

“Hypothesis testing in statistics is a way for you to test the results of a survey or experiment to see if you have meaningful results.” (Statistics How To, 2020) Basically, the test is formed around the survey results. First you must know what a hypothesis is. It is an educated guess. It should be testable by experiment or observation. There are the basic steps to follow when performing hypothesis testing:

  1. Figure out your null hypothesis (Null hypothesis is what is accepted as being true.)
  2. State your null hypothesis
  3. Choose what kind of test you need to perform
  4. Either support or reject the null hypothesis

(Statistics How To, 2020)

Parametric hypothesis tests assume underlying statistical distribution in the data. “Parametric test is more able to lead to a rejection of H0. Most of the time, the p-value associated to a parametric test will be lower than the p-value associated to a nonparametric equivalent that is run on the same data.” (XLSTAT, 2019)

Nonparametric hypothesis tests do no rely on any distribution. This type of test is more “robust”, meaning they are “valid in a broader range of situations.” (XLSTAT, 2019)
