Measurement and Description - chapters 1 and 2 1 The goal this week is to gain an understanding of our data set - what kind of data we are looking at, some d look at how the data is distributed (shape). Measurement issues. Data, even numerically coded variables, can be one of 4 levels nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impact the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group. Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio Gender Grade Performance RaSalary Degree I.D. Raise Gender 1 Service Age b. For each variable that you did not call ratio, why did you make that decision? The variables Compa and Midpoint which I did not call ratio does not fall under either data set description 2 The first step in analyzing data sets is to find some summary descriptive statistics for key variables. For salary, compa, age, performance rating, and service; find the mean, standard deviation, and range for 3 You can use either the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool or the Fx =average and =stdev functions. (the range must be found using the difference between the =max and =min functions with Fx) functions. Note: Place data to the right, if you use Descriptive statistics, place that to the right as well. Some of the values are completed for you - please finish the table. Salary Compa Age Perf. Rat.

Randomly selected male being in grade E? 1 out of 12 Note part b is the same as given a male, what is probabilty of being i The probability of a male b c. Why are the results different? A total of 25 persons being a male in grade E is greater than male being in grade E. 4 A key issue in comparing data sets is to see if they are distributed/shaped the same. We can do this by look some selected values are within each data set - that is how many values are above and below a comparable For each group (overall, females, and males) find: A The value that cuts off the top 1/3 salary value in each group i The z score for this value within each group? ii The normal curve probability of exceeding this score: iii What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this salary value? B The value that cuts off the top 1/3 compa value in each group. i The z score for this value within each group? ii The normal curve probability of exceeding this score: iii What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this compa value? C How do you interpret the relationship between the data sets? What do they mean about our equal pay for e The relationship between the data sets show the salary for both male and female is different and mean male 5. What conclusions can you make about the issue of male and female pay equality? Are all of the results con What is the difference between the sal and compa measures of pay? When it comes to mean, males make more than female. In terms of standard deviation and range, female sa Sal is how much pay in shorter term than compa. Compa seem to have a lower digit number. Conclusions from looking at salary results: Male salary is more than female by looking at salary results. Conclusions from looking at compa results: Male compa is more than female looking at compa results. Do both salary measures show the same results? No, male and female salary measures show similar results.
