Competency 3 Statement
Utilizing statistical regression and time series analysis models, you will be able to evaluate and analyze how multiple variables impact an organization. You will also be able to create forecasts and interpret data to analyze performance as it impacts strategic planning and comparative advantage for an organization.
Manipulating data to create models helps us describe and summarize relationships between variables. Understanding how variables relate to each other helps businesses predict performance and make informed strategic plans. For example, to make an informed recommendation to management regarding which types of office buildings to acquire or sell, you would model the relationship between assessed value and given variables.
This reflection gives you an opportunity to develop, evaluate, and apply bivariate and multivariate linear regression models, and then reflect on office buildings you recommend acquiring and selling, and why.
Pre-Reflection Exercise
Download the Competency 3 Reflection Data Set. The data set is information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:
Floor Area: square feet of floor space
Offices: number of offices in the building
Entrances: number of customer entrances
Age: age of the building (years)
Assessed Value: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)
As you work through the following exercises, note your answers to the given questions so you can easily summarize them in your reflection.
Use the data set to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.
1. Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Floor Area as the independent variable and Assessment Value as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and R2 in your graph.
Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
2. Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Floor Area and Assessment Value.
Is Floor Area a significant predictor of Assessment Value?
3. Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and Assessment Value as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and R2 in your graph.
Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
4. Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value.
Is Age a significant predictor of Assessment Value?
Construct a multiple regression model.
Use Excels Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with Assessment Value as the dependent variable and Floor Area, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables.
What is the overall fit R2? What is the adjusted R2?
Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?
What is the final model if we only use Floor Area and Offices as predictors?
Suppose our final model is: Assessed Value = 115.9 + 0.26 x Floor Area + 78.34 x Offices.
What would be the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago?
Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?
Reflection
In a minimum of 500 words, reflect on the types of medical offices you would advise management to close and open, and why. Use your exercise notes to support your rationale.
Competency 2 Statement
Utilizing statistical probability models, you will be able to evaluate and analyze business data under uncertainty conditions. You will also be able to create and test hypotheses and draw conclusions based on samples of data.
Reflection
Consider the following:
Many business activities generate data that can be thought of as random. An example described in the textbook is the servicing of cars at an oil change shop. Each car entering the shop can be considered an experiment with random outcomes. A variable of interest in this experiment could be the amount of time necessary to service the car. Service time will vary randomly with each car. Often, we can capture the most relevant characteristics of a stochastic process with a simple probability distribution model. We can then analyze the model to make predictions and drive decisions. For instance, we could estimate the number of technicians the oil change shop needs to service demand on a Saturday afternoon.
Respond to the following questions:
What is a random variable?
How would you differentiate a discrete from a continuous random variable?
A laptop manufacturing company has implemented a 2-step process to test the quality of each production batch. In the first step, a technician randomly selects 15 laptops from the batch and determines whether they meet specifications. The batch is considered acceptable provided no more than 1 laptop fails to meet specifications. Otherwise, the entire batch has to be tested in the second step. Historical data shows that 95% of the laptops produced adhere to specifications.
Reflect on the following in a minimum of 500 words:
What are the 4 characteristics of a binomial experiment?
Can we use a binomial distribution to model this process?
What is the probability that the entire batch unnecessarily has to be tested if in fact 95% of its laptops conform to specifications? (Hint: Use Excels =BINOMDIST() function to find the probability)
What is the probability that the batch is incorrectly accepted if only 75% of its laptops actually conform to specifications?
What situations in your organization might this type of analysis apply to? Explain.

The assignment involves using Microsoft Project software (from 2019) to input data and then analyze project scheduling. You are required to make changes to the schedule, calculate costs, and consider project delivery dates. The assignment involves creating and submitting a Microsoft Project file (.MPP) and answering questions in a Word document based on the project’s schedule.
This assignment is separately into 2 parts. Part 1 (which is A and B)
Using the data and information pro‐vided, enter the data and set up the MS Project worksheet to do the analysis. Review the results Be prepared to proceed with the analy‐ sis and recommendations.The actual completion dates and re‐ lated information after the initial data entry for Parts A and B will be posted once you have had time to work through the data entry in the MS Project worksheet.
There’s a instructions sheet in for part 1 attached (TRICORDER Project – Part 1 (1).docx) along with a file called additional instructions ing a PNG image.
Part 2 (which is part C and D) (This is the part where you’ll naswer questions 1-8)
Part 2 is continuing from part 1. There’s a instructions sheet in for part 2 attached called instructions- Part 2 – Parts C and D .docx)
This part includes extra answers from what you should get: I tried doing the project myself, but the feedback I got was this:
Feedback I got:
Unfortunately, what you sent suggests that you did not even complete the initial setup of the problem prior to the material done in part 1. And the responses you provided for questions 1-8 for Part 2 are so general or vague as to be of little help in making scheduling decisions for a problem like this.
For the Part 2 questions:
Which activities could be, or should be, considered for crashing? So what would be the new finish date using the crashed activities? How far off are we still with these changes? You never provide that date.
You are being asked to explore some new options. That is why the data was provided for you … to provide a chance to run some additional analysis (using new information) to see what else might be done given these new constraints. From your response it is difficult/impossible to tell what additional analysis you may have done. You do not provide any specific results.
So, what would these additional costs have been? Specifics … that info is needed to help decision makers assess what to do. As is, you’ve provided no additional specific evidence, meaning that no new decision can be made. Most likely someone else will now need to do the analysis you did not report.
You should have been able to get to Feb 29th by crashing two activities for an additional $65k. Not close enough, but useful info, just the same.
Using the lags alone you cannot meet the Jan 15th deadline. You can get to January 29th.
Which lags would you recommend using? You have six to choose from. All of them? One of them? Provide specifics. As above, without the specifics your analysis statement provides no additional data or information to guide decision making.
Both approaches do get you close to the target date … that is why they are being considered for use. But they have different effects at a general level, and neither approach by itself will get you to the target date.
A general response that really provides no additional information. Be specific! Without the specifics, no decisions, or at least no well-informed decisions, can be made.
You could use all of the relevant lags (those on the critical path) plus two crashed activities (that are on the critical path) for $65k and get to January 14th, just meeting the target date.
OK …
Your MS Project file is not complete … it does not even meet the minimum starting point that should have been reached at the end of Part 1A and B. Without the holidays (i.e., Part 1A) you should have a finish date of March 4, 2025. Adding the holidays will give you a finish date of March 14, 2025.
Given the low quality of your responses (plus that they were not originally included or accessible in your submission) I have awarded a few additional points. But this is a very incomplete assignment. I would have expected a more complete MS Project worksheet (i.e., having all of the data that was given to you entered into the worksheet) as a starting point.

I will provide a start file which will be an unfinished powerpoint, along with an instructions file that will tell you specifically how to build and complete the powerpoint. I will also provide 3 support files that will be added into the powerpoint throughout.
The first file will be the starting file (unfinished powerpoint)
followed by the instructions file
and then the 3 support files
Please review the files before bidding as it is not as easy at it may sound. There are a lot of minor details that need to be correct.
