Your task is to review the scenario found in your textbook on page 685-686, thesupplemental case study document and the accompanying data set outline the appropriate analysis strategy; select a suitable statistical method; and use data analysis to ultimately drive the decision. Once this has been completed, you will be challenged to present your data, data analysis strategy, and overall decision in a concise report, justifying your analysis.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Introduction to the problem:
Provide a concise description of the scenario that you will be analyzing. The following questions might help you describe the scenario: What is thetype of organization identified in the scenario? What is the organization’s history and problem identified in the scenario?
Create an analysis plan to guide your analysis and decision making: In this section you will review the data set to inform the statistical method that will be used. To inform your responses in this section, calculate the central tendency of the dependent variable, develop a histogram of the gift amount and develop scatterplots for the gift amount for each independent variable.
Identify any quantifiable factors that may be affecting the performance of operational processes.
Develop a single sentence problem statement that addresses the given problem in the scenario and contains quantifiable measures.
