There are many databases available through the
library and unless you use them you will not become familiar with what is
available. Often you will find access to information you did not know was
available while you are looking for information.

Within the databases available is one that
provides stock reports for individual firms. View the example stock report
Preview the documentView in a new window(the firm used as the example cannot be
used as your firm). Select a firm in the aviation/ aerospace industry and post
the stock report on the discussion board. Provide a three to four sentence
summary of the recommendation made on the stock (i.e. Buy/Sell/Hold and the
major reasons why). After your short summary (in the same post), post the
current stock price and the 12 month target stock price. This is a first come
first served discussion meaning if someone posts about their selected firm
first they get to post it and you will need to select a new firm.

MBAA522 Module 1.4 Assignment Latest 2016 November
Quantitative research involves the analysis of data. Often
there are databases available or government data available for free on the
internet. There are also proprietary databases that can provide data as well.
For this assignment, you will collect data and begin the analysis of the data.
NOTE: save the data collected because you will continue to perform additional
analysis of the data as the term progresses. Hint: for collecting data, try the Research and
Innovative Technology Administration, Bureau of Transportation Statistics
website. You will have to do some searching to find the data. Look around the
reference website, the data are there.
For the first module, you need to collect cumulative data
for all U.S. major carriers for the time period of January 2006 through
December 2012. The data you collect should include monthly load factors,
monthly revenue passenger miles, and monthly available seat miles (Domestic
flights only).
Once you have collected the data, clean the data as
necessary (i.e. sometimes monthly data will include a total for each year in
the data set). If you keep the annual total in the data set it could skew some
of your results. Also, remember the question asks for domestic data only. For
the period in question calculate the following summary statistics for each data
item collected:
Mean
Median
Mode
Standard Deviation
Variance
Minimum and maximum
In addition to data for all U.S. carriers collect the same
data of a single U.S. airline, clean the data, and calculate the same summary
statistics for the particular airline you selected.
Create a scatter plot for all of the US airline data with
revenue passenger miles on the y-axis and load factor on the x-axis. Do the
same for the individual airline you have selected. Make sure your scatter plot
includes a title of the plot, labels the x and y-axis with appropriate titles,
and uses appropriate scales for each axis (refer to your textbooks for
examples).
After completing the above items, prepare a brief (three to
four paragraph) discussion of the summary statistics, perceived relation
between load factor and revenue passenger miles (if any), how your selected
airline appears to be performing relative to the industry, and any other
information you can glean from the data collected. Your write-up should also
include a brief discussion identifying where the data was obtained from. Ensure
sources are cited and formatted in accordance with current APA format.
This assignment is intended to get you to start thinking
about what your data may or may not be telling you. Certainly, this early in
the term we have not discussed the tools necessary to draw strong inferences.
However, there are items which may appear to be apparent that can be discussed.
Be sure to include summary tables of summary statistics, the
scatterplots, and the excel spreadsheet with the data in addition to the brief
write-up. When you submit your assignment, use the following naming
convention:
Lastname.Firstname.Course.Activity.fileextension. For
example, I would have two documents to turn in:
Mau.Ron.MBAA522.1.4.docx. and Mau.Ron.MBAA522.1.4.xlsx.
Review the Data Assignment RubricPreview the documentView in
a new window before submitting your completed assignment. Read through the
rubric carefully and note that spread sheets must include the formulas where
applicable. Within a cell with a result, the formula should be visible if the
cell is selected. Formulas are not necessary in summary tables, which should
just include the results.

A sample of shoppers was selected and asked questions
regarding consumer behavior. One of the questions asked was “Do you enjoy
shopping for clothing?” Information regarding the responses is below:
Total Responses: 500
Males: 136 responded “yes” and 104 responded
“no”
Females: 224 responded “yes” and 36 responded
“no”
Construct a contingency table summarizing the above results
and answer the following questions:
What is the probability a shopper likes to shop for
clothing?
Given a shopper is male, what is the probability the shopper
likes to shop for clothing?
Given a shopper is male, what is the probability the shopper
does not like to shop for clothing?
Given a shopper is female, what is the probability a shopper
does not like to shop for clothing?
Include the excel spreadsheet with the data and in a word
document your answers to the questions above. When you submit your assignment,
use the following naming convention:

MBAA522 Module 4.3 Data Assignment Latest 2016 November
You will need to watch all of the videos in this module before
beginning this assignment. The information presented and the examples given
will help you complete this activity.
In Module 1, you completed an Airline Data Assignment. For this activity,
collect the same data for a different U.S. carrier, clean the data, and
calculate the following items:
- Mean
- Median
- Mode
- Standard
Deviation - Variance
- Minimum
and maximum
For both airlines, (recall you already
collected data on one airline in Module 1 and an additional airline as part of
this assignment),
- Construct
95 percent confidence intervals (alpha would equal what in this case?) for - monthly
load factors, - monthly
revenue passenger miles, and - monthly
available seat miles (Domestic flights only) - there
will be six confidence intervals established.
- Develop
the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses and test if the - monthly
load factors, - monthly
revenue passenger miles, and - monthly
available seat miles - are
equal for the two airlines (use alpha of 0.05). 3 sets of independent t
tests.
- Test
if the mean for each airline is equal to the mean for the industry for - monthly
load factors, - monthly
revenue passenger miles, and - monthly
revenue miles: 6 sets of single sample t tests.
After completing the above items, prepare a
brief (probably be three to four pages) write-up of the analysis completed
above. Items to include in your write-up include
- How
a given airline is performing relative to industry and - Whether
the results are consistent with expectations.. - Cite
sources and format your document in accordance with the current edition of
the APA Manual..
Be sure to include summary tables of summary
statistics and a table summarizing the test results. Refer to the readings from
Module 1 and the APA manual for formatting issues. Turn in two files for this
assignment. One should include the write-up and the other the data and
analysis.

MBAA522 Module 6.3 Quantitative vs. Qualitative Research Assignment Latest 2016
November
In Qualitative Data Analysis, Miles and Huberman (1994)* quoted
Fred Kerlinger as saying, “There’s no such thing as qualitative research.
Everything is either 1 or 0” (p. 40), but also quoted D. T. Campbell as
saying, “all research ultimately has qualitative grounding” (p. 40).
It is important, however, to understand that qualitative and quantitative
research are valued in the research world and are often used together under a
single research project.
Prepare a short essay (approximately 1,000 words) written in current APA format
comparing and contrasting quantitative and qualitative research. Be sure to
include the advantages and disadvantages of each and share which method you
prefer.

to plot the data and plot and include various graphs that would help determine
if the data is normally distributed (which is an assumption of ordinary least
squared regression). Write-up a short summary in current APA format of the
results. Be sure to include the resulting model (equation) for the relationship
determined by the regression analysis and an interpretation of the model. At
the 0.05 significance level is there evidence of a relation between assessed
value and heated area of house?
