My assignment requires operating spss and analyzing the data. My university is in Uk so plagiarism needs to be checked via turnitin. I have both spss as well as turnitin. I just need commands, so that i can give the output and i need the written content to be done by the expert. Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this assessment and this module, you will have demonstrated your ability to: 1. Design, explore and evaluate a psychometric scale. 2. Analyse and interpret advanced statistical techniques using appropriate software for statistical analysis (SPSS). Summative Assessment(s) [Graded Assessment(s)] Assessment: Coursework – SPSS Portfolio Assessment Component: Assessment weighting: Length: Assessed module learning outcome(s): 1 100% Q1 – 50% Q2 and Q3 – 50% Q1 = 3,000 words (Not marked after this limit) Q2 & Q3 = 1,000 words (not marked after this limit) No limit for individual questions, but recommend approximately 500 words each 1 & 2 Submission date/time: Provisional feedback released: Completed final work: Thursday 11th August 2022 by 23:59 hrs UK time Completed final work feedback (provisional grade): Monday 5th September 2022, 09:00 UK time. Your work will be marked anonymously: Markers will not be aware of which student has written the work that is being marked. Provisional marks and feedback will have been reviewed by an internal moderator (member of teaching staff who have not been involved with the module). A sample of your marks and feedback will then be reviewed by our external examiner and the ratified mark will be published following the assessment board which will be held in September 2022. Assessment Overview There is one piece of coursework for this module comprising a 4000-word portfolio of statistical tests that address the three questions set below. This portfolio is worth 100% of your module mark. The portfolio must be written in English. You will be presented with three research questions and data sets. For each question you are required to conduct and report the findings of an appropriate analysis of the data provided, in the report style shown during the module. You should screen the data prior to any analyses and routinely report appropriate estimates of effect size and other relevant statistical information where appropriate. You should also include appropriate and clearly expressed predictions. The word limit for the portfolio is 4000 words (maximum) and includes in-text citations, tables and figures. The word could DOES NOT include your title page (including declaration statement), reference list or appendices. There is no 10% variance applied. Words beyond the 4000-word limit will NOT be reviewed for marking. Please note that module staff cannot help you with questions regarding specific exercises in this assessment. This is because a fundamental part of this assessment is for you to be able to identify the statistical analyses that you need to conduct to address the exercise questions, conduct the appropriate analyses, and then write them up in the correct manner. Module staff can support you with more general assessment related questions including general questions about analyses, but not specific questions (e.g., “do I do a regression for question two?”, etc.). ALL of the statistical processes and tests that you are required to conduct have been taught through the individual units on the module. You are not required to learn any additional tests to enable you to complete this portfolio. Portfolio Questions Question 1 You will be provided with a dataset containing responses from women to three quality of life measures. This can be found in the assessment tab on the module pages and is titled “Question 1 – Data set”. Using this dataset, you need to choose the appropriate tests to summarise the scale and then conduct a factor analysis on the data to indicate subscales, which you will name and produce a written report. You should also calculate the reliability and validity of the scale. You should include the following sections: Prediction(s): These should be clearly written and explain what you would predict based upon the description of the research question, including a brief introduction to the topic area. • Results: This section should begin with coverage of data screening. You should then write up the results of the chosen statistical test(s) in the reporting style you will be shown during the relevant unit on the module. • Discussion: There should be a brief (i.e. a few sentences) discussion of the findings of the results in light of the research question. • Appendix (not included in word count): Please include any calculations and all relevant SPSS outputs (e.g. data screening checks, analyses etc.) as appendices. (Please provide an appendix for each question, rather than a single appendix at the end). A researcher wants to measure women’s quality of life. After conducting some focus groups and consultations with experts, the researcher has designed a new measure. They have asked nearly 300 women to complete the new scale along with two established measures: the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992) and the EQ-5D (EuroQol Group, 1990). Missing values are coded as 99 and 999 in the database. You are asked to help refine the scale by identifying any subscales and by examining its validity and reliability. Using factor analysis, you should provide advice about how many subscales there are and what they appear to measure. Finally, you are asked to recommend any further testing that should be performed in the future to ensure the measure’s psychometric properties. EuroQol Group (1990).

Conceptual framework and item selection. Medical care, 30, 473-483. For Questions 2 and 3, you are presented with research questions and their accompanying data sets. For each question, you are required to conduct and then report the findings of an appropriate analysis of the data provided, in the reporting style shown during the module. You should screen the data prior to any analyses and routinely report appropriate estimates of effect size and other relevant statistical information where appropriate. You should also include appropriate and clearly expressed predictions. For each question, you should include the following sections: • Prediction(s): These should be clearly written and explain what you would predict based upon the description of the research question, including a brief introduction to the research topic. • Results: This section should begin with coverage of data screening (testing assumptions). You should then write up the results of the chosen statistical test(s) in the reporting style you will be shown during the module. • Discussion: There should be a brief (i.e. a few sentences) discussion of the findings of the results in light of the research question. • Appendix (not included in word count): Please include any calculations and all relevant SPSS outputs (e.g. data screening checks, analyses etc.) as appendices. (Please provide an appendix for each question, rather than a single appendix at the end). Question 2 A researcher wanted to examine whether a self-management programme was useful in helping to improve adherence with lipid reduction medication use amongst patients with coronary heart disease. The researcher has asked you to examine: 1) whether the number of training hours on the programme predicts medication adherence, and 2) whether self-efficacy is a significant mediator within this relationship. You have been provided with the following variables: • Adherence score (number of days adhering to medication); • Self-efficacy; • Training hours (number of training hours on the programme); Participant number Gender Adherence score Self-efficacy Training hours 1 Male 9 51 6 2 Female 6 55 6 3 Female 6 56 3 4 Female 4 55 3 5 Male 7 62 5 6 Male 7 63 5 7 Female 8 64 5 8 Male 7 64 4 9 Female 8 73 6 10 Female 9 74 6 11 Male 9 73 5 12 Female 11 76 5 13 Female 12 77 5 14 Male 12 79 6 15 Female 12 88 6 16 Male 13 89 6 17 Female 13 90 6 18 Male 13 93 6 19 Female 13 95 7 20 Female 13 96 7 21 Male 13 98 7 22 Female 13 102 7 23 Female 13 103 7 24 Female 14 111 7 25 Male 14 112 7 26 Male 14 113 7 27 Female 14 114 7 28 Female 15 119 7 29 Female 15 121 7 30 Male 20 85 8 31 Male 22 70 8 32 Female 22 85 8 33 Female 26 74 9 34 Female 25 124 9 35 Female 23 51 9 36 Male 27 124 10 37 Male 21 63 10 38 Male 21 72 10 39 Male 11 79 10 40 Female 4 72 10 41 Male 19 80 10 42 Male 4 84 11 43 Male 13 113 11 44 Female 22 94 14 45 Male 14 123 14 46 Female 25 83 15 47 Male 20 78 11 48 Female 18 90 10 49 Male 23 93 13 50 Male 15 110 12 51 Male 14 114 10 52 Male 10 94 13 53 Male 27 119 14 54 Female 4 79 15 55 Female 5 89 10 56 Male 20 81 12 57 Male 28 117 10 58 Female 22 60 14 59 Female 8 120 14 60 Male 15 111 13 Question 3 Data on the relationship between personality profile and nicotine dependence may help health professionals to design and improve programs for the treatment and prevention of this dependence. A researcher obtains three groups of 20 participants; 1) current smokers; 2) individuals who have given up smoking for more than twelve months; and 3) individuals who have never smoked. In addition to providing their smoking status, participants completed Costa and McCrae’s (1992) NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO-PI-R).

QSO 489 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a SWOT analysis, project planning outline, and professional and personal reflection. As the final step in your journey toward your Bachelor of Science degree in Operations Management, you will complete a capstone that integrates the knowledge and skills that you have developed in previous coursework by conducting an analysis of an organization and applying continuous improvement practices for achieving sustainable operations and effective resource management. You will also reflect on your journey through the Operational Management program and how you plan to position yourself professionally. This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three separate components that operate together to comprise the whole capstone experience. For the capstone evaluation, you will be evaluated on all three as a unit. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: • QSO-489-01: Assess and apply operations management theory and best practices effectively in a global environment to achieve operational goals in support of business strategies • QSO-489-02: Evaluate and apply appropriate continuous improvement practices for achieving sustainable operations in a given environment • QSO-489-03: Utilize quantitative and qualitative techniques for solving problems with processes, procedures, and products • QSO-489-04: Evaluate the internal and external factors that influence business sustainability and competitive advantages in business • QSO-489-05: Make operations-management decisions that create value while minimizing risk for the purposes of meeting specified customer requirements • QSO-489-06: Develop and apply appropriate resource management techniques for promoting accountability, sustainability, and organizational effectiveness Prompt You will select an organization in operations management that is currently facing competition from other service industries in the same area (e.g.., Verizon vs. Sprint, Apple vs. Dell, Longhorn Steakhouse vs. Outback Steakhouse, Chrysler vs. Chevrolet, etc.). After laying the foundation for understanding the selected organization by analyzing data from both quantitative and qualitative sources, you will then apply continuous improvement techniques for identifying potential solutions by developing a SWOT analysis on the selected organization, ultimately contributing to its long-term planning and sustainability. You will then develop potential solution(s) for addressing the identified weaknesses or threats (outlined in the SWOT) that would add value to the organization with minimal risk. This will also be accompanied by a project planning outline that will highlight how and when the proposed solution will be introduced, which should adhere to common industry-driven project management principles. Finally, you will reflect on your journey through the Operational Management program and how you plan to position yourself professionally through a third component in the form of a personal and professional reflection. Capstone Component One: SWOT Analysis For the first of three capstone components, you will develop a comprehensive, professional SWOT analysis that will help form long-term planning and sustainability strategies, outlined in a project management plan (PMP). First, you will want to lay the foundation for conducting your SWOT analysis by comprehensively describing the selected organization and discussing the issues or problems that the organization is facing. Overall, it is important to include information that is pertinent for comprehending the organization and its problems. It is up to you to establish a robust context for understanding and responding to the organization’s need(s). Part of establishing a solid framework for analyzing the organization is incorporating information that supports why the problem(s) exists and how it is valid. For instance, based on your chosen organization, you should include both a quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis that speak to the organization’s need and identified problem. After conducting a SWOT analysis, you will bring your analysis together by synthesizing the results and identifying potential solutions. The following sections should be included: I. Strengths: Identify the strengths of the organization. II. Weaknesses: Identify the weaknesses of the organization. III. Opportunities: Identify potential opportunities that the organization should explore in order to expand. IV. Threats: Identify external factors that could potentially negatively affect the organization. V. Improvements: Develop potential solution(s) addressing the identified weaknesses and threats that are listed in the SWOT that would add value to the organization with minimal risk. Capstone Component Two: Project Planning Outline After identifying necessary improvements in Component One, you will pick one solution to expand upon in a professional project plan. Here, you will develop an abbreviated project management plan (PMP) that showcases the essential steps you think would be effective in implementing your proposed solution. Based on your SWOT analysis, your abbreviated PMP should be presented in an outline format with proposed tasks needed for implementation that adhere to industrydriven project management principles. • What tasks are needed in order to implement the proposed solution in the organization? Each task must be written out with thorough detail and should be organized chronologically, based on logical and appropriate start and end times for each task. • In closing, identify the overall value added if the solution is implemented. For instance, the solution may be developed to increase service quality for customers or to increase revenue, increase product quality, and so on. Capstone Component Three: Professional and Personal Reflection For the third and final component of your capstone, you will write an essay in which you discuss the process and outcomes of this project, as well as how your coursework culminated in the capstone project. This may include discussions of unforeseen problems or obstacles, as well as any surprises. The essay should also discuss your identified strengths and problems that you encountered while completing the project. Finally, the essay will examine how the capstone project will be useful in the job market or in furthering your education. You should envision this component as a personal reflection on the capstone and your experience in the Operations Management program as a whole. For instance, relative to the capstone, you could discuss what you did (or intended to do), and then consider what worked well, what challenges you faced, and what you would do differently to make your experience better. In reflecting on your time here at SNHU, you might discuss where you started, where you are now, and where you see yourself going. Note that this component is not about evaluating the capstone itself but rather your experience within the capstone project. Some of the issues that you could address in this final component of this capstone may include: • Overall, what was your capstone experience like? • Reflect on the significance of the capstone in relation to your own experience at SNHU. • What connections do you see between your capstone and your academic program? • How can learning about the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data be useful in your career? • The SWOT allows you to analyze internal and external factors. How can this tool be helpful after graduation? Milestones Milestone One: SWOT Analysis In Module Three, you will submit a SWOT analysis draft. You will develop a comprehensive, professional SWOT analysis that will help form long-term planning and sustainability strategies, outlined in a project management plan (PMP). This milestone will be graded with the Milestone One Rubric. Milestone Two: Project Planning Outline In Module Five, you will submit a project planning outline draft. You will pick one solution to expand upon in a professional project plan. Here, you will develop an abbreviated project management plan (PMP) that showcases the essential steps that you think would be effective in implementing your proposed solution. Based on your SWOT analysis, your abbreviated PMP should be presented in an outline format with proposed tasks needed for implementation that adhere to industry-driven project management principles. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Two Rubric. Final Submission: SWOT Analysis, Project Planning Outline, and Professional and Personal Reflection In Module Seven, you will submit your SWOT analysis, project planning outline, and professional and personal reflection. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded using the Final Project Rubric. Final Project Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your final project must be 12–16 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. References should be cited using the latest edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) publication manual. You may include illustrations, photographs, graphs and charts, and other non-textual materials as needed to support the SWOT analysis (though all of the latter should be placed in an appendix or appendices if used). This rubric will be applied to all components as a whole, and no component will be assessed on its own. The “Possible Indicators of Success” are examples for you and the instructor of the types of concepts to look for to demonstrate proficiency. They are neither exhaustive nor proscriptive and should be used as guides for illustrating how your capstone embodies the outcome. All outcomes are weighted equally. QSO-489-01: Assess and apply operations management theory and best practices effectively in a global environment to achieve operational goals in support of business strategies Possible Indicators of Success Does the capstone demonstrate the student’s ability to assess and apply business strategies for identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of an organization?

It reviews statistical techniques for the quantitative evaluation of data in Financial applications. Students will develop analytical and statistical skills to enable them to transform data into meaningful information for the purpose of decision making Instructions: • To more broadly understand the statistical literacy for decision making. • Interpret statistical results and communicate their statistical analysis in business reports. Submission Instructions: This individual assessment requires you to apply statistical knowledge and skills learned from STAT6003 lectures between weeks 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. • This assesment can be based on several theories and methods. • Please use Excel for statistical analysis in this assessment. Relevant Excel statistical output must be properly analysed and interpreted. • Please provide a number for every table, graph or figure used and make clear reference to the table/graph/figure in your discussion. • The word limit for this group assignment is 2,000 words (excluding Excel output). Submit a copy of presentation Report in .docx, or .pdf format via the Assessment link in the main navigation menu in STAT6003. The Learning Facilitator will provide feedback with reference to the criteria below via the Grade Centre in the LMS portal. Feedback can be viewed in My Grades. Assessment tasks: The variables for this assignment are as follows: V1) Market Price ($000) V2) Sydney price Index V3) Total number of square meters V4) Age of house (years) Task 1: Selecting your Random Sample and Creating your Sample Data File ( 8 Marks) In order to select the sample data that will form the basis of your assignment you will need to make use of the random number table provided with this assignment. The provided table of random numbers is, as the title suggests, a sequence of randomly generated numerical digits (0 to 9). These digits are arranged in a table with one hundred rows numbered 01 to 00 and twenty columns spread over two pages. The entries in each column of each row consist of five single digits. The property data from which you will select your sample data consists of 400 IDs each with an identifying property number (PN) ranging from 1 (or 001) to 400. Your first task is to select 50 three digit random (property) numbers ranging from 001 to 400 from the provided table of random numbers. We will ask you to select 50 numbers, to begin with, just to cover the distinct possibility that you may select the same three digit number more than once. The type of simple random sampling that we will be engaged in here is termed “without replacement” because we specifically do not want to allow a property identification number to be selected more than once. In order to select your 50 random property identification numbers you will need to first go to a starting position row and column in the random number table. Defined by the last three digits of your Torrens University student identification number. The last two digits of your Torrens ID number identifies the row and the third last digit identifies the column of your (relatively) “unique” starting position. For the demonstration last three digits of 312, reading across row 12 from left to right starting at column 3 as instructed, you would encounter the following three digit numbers; 293 313 381 349 656 985 295 You need to record these first three acceptable ID numbers, 293, 313, 381 and 349 into the first column of an Excel spread-sheet and then continue this process until fifty valid three-digit personal identification numbers selected. Task 2: 1. Provide the complete summary statistics for Market Price ($000) and Age of house (years). (5 Marks) 2. Describe the shape of the distributions for Market Price ($000) and Age of house (years). (5 Marks) 3. Test whether the population’s average Market Price ($000) is different from 777. (5 Marks) 4. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the Market Price ($000), also Interpret the confidence interval. (4 Marks) 5. Provide an introduction section on the rationale of your model , sample size, and the dependent and independent variables (including their unit of measurement) in this model. (4 Marks) 6. Plot the dependent variable against each independent variable using scatter plot/dot function in Excel. Examine these scatter plots and correctly assess the strength and the nature of the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables? (6 Marks) 7. Present the multiple regression model with complete regression summary output in your assignment. (6 Marks) 8. Provide the simple linear regression data analysis for the market price as the response variable and the Land size in Square meters as the explanatory variable. Write down the least square regression equation and correctly interpret the equation. (6 Marks) 9. Write a clear interpretation of the slope of the regression line from question 8. You must refer to the variables of interest. (4 Marks) 10. What is the value of the coefficient of determination for the relationship between the dependent and independent variable from question 8. Interpret this value accurately and in a meaningful way. (4 Marks) 11. State the 95% confidence interval for the slope coefficient and interpret this interval from question 8. (5 Marks) 12. Compare the multiple regression model (question 7) and simple linear regression model (question 8) and evaluate the goodness of fit between these two modelling techniques. (8 Marks) 13. Predict the market price of a house (in $) with a building area of 300 square meters. Explain why your answer is valid. (4 Marks) 14. By performing an appropriate hypothesis test what decision and conclusion would you draw about the hypothesis that the Land size in Square meters useful in predicting the market price of a house (in $)? Use the data provided to justify your answer, as appropriate. When answering this research question. (8 Marks) 15. For statistical analysis involving hypothesis testing in this assignment, you are required to: • Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for full model. • State your statistical decision using significant value (??) of 5% for this test. • State your conclusion in this context.

Describe the shape of the distributions for Market Price ($000) and Age of house (years). (5 Marks) 3. Test whether the population’s average Market Price ($000) is different from 777. (5 Marks) 4. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the Market Price ($000), also Interpret the confidence interval. (4 Marks) 5. Provide an introduction section on the rationale of your model , sample size, and the dependent and independent variables (including their unit of measurement) in this model. (4 Marks) 6. Plot the dependent variable against each independent variable using scatter plot/dot function in Excel. Examine these scatter plots and correctly assess the strength and the nature of the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables? (6 Marks) 7. Present the multiple regression model with complete regression summary output in your assignment. (6 Marks) 8. Provide the simple linear regression data analysis for the market price as the response variable and the Land size in Square meters as the explanatory variable. Write down the least square regression equation and correctly interpret the equation. (6 Marks) 9. Write a clear interpretation of the slope of the regression line from question 8. You must refer to the variables of interest. (4 Marks) 10. What is the value of the coefficient of determination for the relationship between the dependent and independent variable from question 8. Interpret this value accurately and in a meaningful way. (4 Marks) 11. State the 95% confidence interval for the slope coefficient and interpret this interval from question 8. (5 Marks) 12. Compare the multiple regression model (question 7) and simple linear regression model (question 8) and evaluate the goodness of fit between these two modelling techniques. (8 Marks) 13. Predict the market price of a house (in $) with a building area of 300 square meters. Explain why your answer is valid. (4 Marks) 14. By performing an appropriate hypothesis test what decision and conclusion would you draw about the hypothesis that the Land size in Square meters useful in predicting the market price of a house (in $)? Use the data provided to justify your answer, as appropriate. When answering this research question. (8 Marks) 15. For statistical analysis involving hypothesis testing in this assignment, you are required to: • Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for full model. • State your statistical decision using significant value (??) of 5% for this test. • State your conclusion in this context.
