The total number of respondents. The total number of respondents with incomes at or above $75,000. The total number respondents who had less than 3 desserts out each month. The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $60,000. The total number of desserts per month reported by respondents who are in the 31-35 age category or the over 35 age category. The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $50,000 and are in the 31-35 age category. The maximum number of meals per month reported by a respondent who is in the 26-30 age category. You have recently decided to open a restaurant. In your restaurant, you plan to feature specialty desserts along with fine cuisine. One critical decision you must make is where to locate the restaurant. Right now, you are considering two different locations: Site X or Site Y. Before making the decision, you hired a local market research firm to provide you with some demographic data about the two locations and the specific dining habits of the local population that frequent other restaurants in these areas. You now plan to perform some analysis on the data to help you determine which location is more attractive for your new restaurant. 1. Download and save the Excel 3 Template.xlsx file as LastNameFirstNameExcel3.xlsx (e.g. BestMarkExcel3.xlsx). 2. On the Site X and Site Y worksheets, use the RANK.EQ function to rank each respondent by the number of desserts they eat out per month and the number of meals they eat out per month respectively (ranking from most desserts and meals out to the least). Figure Sense: A useful figure sense habit is to ask: "What Excel function is needed to accomplish the required task?". In this case, the Excel function is given: RANK.EQ. After you have identified the required Excel function, determine how to use that function to complete the task for the first respondent Another useful figure sense habit is to check your answers, even when Excel performs the calculations for you! Studies have shown that almost 90% of spreadsheets contain errors, and many mistakes can be spotted quickly by reviewing the output of your formulas and functions. One way to check your answers is to ask: "Does the answer make sense?". If the answer does not make sense, then you may have made a mistake. Another way to check your answer is to calculate the answer by another method and then check to see if you arrived at the same answer both ways. Check that your result from using the RANK.EQ function is correct for Site X by doing the following: (i) Copy columns A through E into the Figure Sense worksheet. (ii) Sort the data based on the # Desserts Out per Month column (largest to smallest). (ii) Determine the respondent who is ranked #1, the respondent who is ranked #2, and the respondent who is ranked #3 in the sorted data. (iv) Check that these three respondents have the same rankings as your result using RANK.EQ. 3. Freeze the top row on the Site X and Site Y worksheets to make the category headings visible at all times. 4. On the Comparison worksheet, calculate the difference and percent difference of the mean and standard deviation for the data sets (Site X and Site Y) for the number of desserts and meals. Use the STDEV.S function for the standard Excel 3 IST 310: Introduction to Information and Management Productivity Systems Page 1 deviation. The difference should be calculated as Site Y - Site X. The percent difference should be calculated as (Site Y - Site X) / Site X. Next, complete the table so that it lists the four highest number of desserts per month from each data set (Site X and Site Y) and the ten lowest number of meals eaten out by respondents for each of the data sets (Site X and Site Y). Figure Sense: What Excel functions are needed to accomplish these tasks? After you have identified the required Excel functions, determine how to use those functions. Is there an easy way to check that your listings of the four highest number of desserts for Sites X and Y are correct? Is there an easy way to check that your listings of the ten lowest number of meals eaten out for Sites X and Y are correct? 5. After looking at the data in the Comparison worksheet, you have decided that Site Y is the more attractive location for your new restaurant. On the Summary worksheet, use various formulas and functions to complete cells B1:B7 using only the data for Site Y. Figure Sense: What Excel functions are needed to accomplish these tasks? How can you use these functions to complete the tasks? One way to check the value for "The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $60,000." in cell B4 is the following: (i) Copy columns A through E into the Figure Sense worksheet. (ii) Sort the data based on the Income column (largest to smallest). (ii) with your cursor or keyboard shortcuts, select the range of cells in the # Meals Out per Month column that corresponds to respondents with incomes of at least $60,000. The sum of the selected values will be displayed in the lower part of the workbook window (i.e. in the Status Bar). (iv) Check to see if this value is the same as your computed value in cell B4 in the Summary worksheet.

The total number of respondents. The total number of respondents with incomes at or above $75,000. The total number respondents who had less than 3 desserts out each month. The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $60,000. The total number of desserts per month reported by respondents who are in the 31-35 age category or the over 35 age category. The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $50,000 and are in the 31-35 age category. The maximum number of meals per month reported by a respondent who is in the 26-30 age category. You have recently decided to open a restaurant. In your restaurant, you plan to feature specialty desserts along with fine cuisine. One critical decision you must make is where to locate the restaurant. Right now, you are considering two different locations: Site X or Site Y. Before making the decision, you hired a local market research firm to provide you with some demographic data about the two locations and the specific dining habits of the local population that frequent other restaurants in these areas. You now plan to perform some analysis on the data to help you determine which location is more attractive for your new restaurant. 1. Download and save the Excel 3 Template.xlsx file as LastNameFirstNameExcel3.xlsx (e.g. BestMarkExcel3.xlsx). 2. On the Site X and Site Y worksheets, use the RANK.EQ function to rank each respondent by the number of desserts they eat out per month and the number of meals they eat out per month respectively (ranking from most desserts and meals out to the least). Figure Sense: A useful figure sense habit is to ask: "What Excel function is needed to accomplish the required task?". In this case, the Excel function is given: RANK.EQ. After you have identified the required Excel function, determine how to use that function to complete the task for the first respondent Another useful figure sense habit is to check your answers, even when Excel performs the calculations for you! Studies have shown that almost 90% of spreadsheets contain errors, and many mistakes can be spotted quickly by reviewing the output of your formulas and functions. One way to check your answers is to ask: "Does the answer make sense?". If the answer does not make sense, then you may have made a mistake. Another way to check your answer is to calculate the answer by another method and then check to see if you arrived at the same answer both ways. Check that your result from using the RANK.EQ function is correct for Site X by doing the following: (i) Copy columns A through E into the Figure Sense worksheet. (ii) Sort the data based on the # Desserts Out per Month column (largest to smallest). (ii) Determine the respondent who is ranked #1, the respondent who is ranked #2, and the respondent who is ranked #3 in the sorted data. (iv) Check that these three respondents have the same rankings as your result using RANK.EQ. 3. Freeze the top row on the Site X and Site Y worksheets to make the category headings visible at all times. 4. On the Comparison worksheet, calculate the difference and percent difference of the mean and standard deviation for the data sets (Site X and Site Y) for the number of desserts and meals. Use the STDEV.S function for the standard Excel 3 IST 310: Introduction to Information and Management Productivity Systems Page 1 deviation. The difference should be calculated as Site Y - Site X. The percent difference should be calculated as (Site Y - Site X) / Site X. Next, complete the table so that it lists the four highest number of desserts per month from each data set (Site X and Site Y) and the ten lowest number of meals eaten out by respondents for each of the data sets (Site X and Site Y). Figure Sense: What Excel functions are needed to accomplish these tasks? After you have identified the required Excel functions, determine how to use those functions. Is there an easy way to check that your listings of the four highest number of desserts for Sites X and Y are correct? Is there an easy way to check that your listings of the ten lowest number of meals eaten out for Sites X and Y are correct? 5. After looking at the data in the Comparison worksheet, you have decided that Site Y is the more attractive location for your new restaurant. On the Summary worksheet, use various formulas and functions to complete cells B1:B7 using only the data for Site Y. Figure Sense: What Excel functions are needed to accomplish these tasks? How can you use these functions to complete the tasks? One way to check the value for "The total number of meals per month reported by respondents who earn at least $60,000." in cell B4 is the following: (i) Copy columns A through E into the Figure Sense worksheet. (ii) Sort the data based on the Income column (largest to smallest). (ii) with your cursor or keyboard shortcuts, select the range of cells in the # Meals Out per Month column that corresponds to respondents with incomes of at least $60,000. The sum of the selected values will be displayed in the lower part of the workbook window (i.e. in the Status Bar). (iv) Check to see if this value is the same as your computed value in cell B4 in the Summary worksheet. You could use a similar approach (sorting, filtering, etc.) to check that all of the values in cells B1:B7 of the Summary worksheet are correct. 6. Make the Site X tab the active worksheet, save and close your file, and use the Excel 3 link on Blackboard to submit your work
