MGT $4317$ Project Assignement $(20$ pts$)$

Assignment objectives: Practice and evaluate different aspects$/$techniques of problem$-$solving.

General description of project assignment: Create a survey using Qualtrics to collect information$/$data

to solve a unique problem.

The team assignment surver should include critical elements $($each element worth $5$ pts$)$:

Description of the problem you are trying to solve. You should also identify the population and

sample the survey intends to use. Note: the problem in this context can be anything you want to get

solutions for, Give you an example below.

Here is an example of a couple of issues that the survey data can help resolve. $1$ just came back from a

hiking trip to Zion National Park. Two of the most challenging hikes were Angels Landing and The

Narrows. However, each has different problems. The Angels Landing has chained narrow$/$steep sections

for the top half miles. It is a challenging and sometimes dangerous hike, especially when it is crowded.

For the Narrows, you need to hike through the water with slippery rocks $-$ so the right shoes and

equipment are essential. So$,$ you can see that even though both are labeled as the most challenging

hikes, the problems that need to be resolved are different.

Create a set of survey questions $(15$ to $20$ questions$)$ to gather information$/$data to help you get the

solution$($s$).$

From the example above. For the overerowding issue at Angels Landing, the Park needs to find out how

many people per day would be considered too crowded, the number of people projected to visit daily, and

bow to limit the number of people. There was an announcement from Zion National Park: $"$In response to

concerns about crowding and congestion on the trail, on and after April $1,2022,$ everyone who hikes

Angels Landing aeeds to have a permit. The pilot permit program reflects lessons leamed when we

metered the number of hikers on the trail in $2019$ and $2021$ and by distributing tickets to use the park

shuttle system in response to COVID$-19$ in ${2020}^{\text{'}\text{'}}($nps$.$gow$/$Zion$).$ One of the sites stated that Zion issues

$900$ permits daily, and the Park gets over $2,000$ hikers on holiday weekends. Also, acconding to

McPartland, the Park's visitor use manager, the ideal number of hikers a day is $800($

kuer.org$).$ The Park

also stated they would monitor the program and adjust accordingly.

Note for both $2)$ and below $3)$: Most of your questionaires should be Multiple Choise, limiting the open$-$

ended questions to no more than two.

For each question listed above, a$)$ identify what type of data$/$information you are collecting. For the

quantitative data, identify the levels of measurement. b$)$ Describe how those questions are relevant

to the problems you are trying to solve, Your survey questions must have at least two levels of

measurement.

Use the Narrows as an example. There is an equipment rental shop, Zion Outfitter. They claimed they

only run out of sizes if you rent before $10a.m.$ on the day you are hiking. To do this, they probably need

to know how many people will rent the equipment and the number of people in each shoe size. Suppose

they use the survey to find the information, In that case, they probably need to ask how likely a person

is to hike the Narrows and rent the equipment $($a ratio scale$)$ and shoe sizes: Ordinal data $($categorical

data$).$

Create the Survey in Qualtrics, Distribute the survey, and analyze$/$report the results.

You can generate the analysis directly from Qualtrics or analyze it using Excel. You must include output

data $($raw data from Qualtrics$),$ data analysis, and conclusions $($Findings to answer your main concerns

set in $1).$
