Week 8: Case Study (graded)

Read the Decision Dilemma found on pages 477-487 in your text (Business Statistics: For Contemporary Decision Making: By Ken Black). Consider the questions asked at the end of that discussion in light of the ethical considerations presented on page 498. What variables might be used? What variables should not be used? To what degree can someone depend on the results of the regression analysis? Why?

Alternative question: Find an article in the news that presents statistical results. Consider whether the study was done ethically and whether the presentation of results is appropriate.
