READ INSTRUCTIONS: This is task one where you find and pick the data to use and decide what type of analysis you will use. I need real life data that is legit and from a reliable internet source (examples: inflation rates, mortgage costs in Utah, etc.) these are ideas of what type of data. Then a question around the data needs to be asked and analyzed with a minimum of 30 data points. the class instructions are below. once task 1 is approved there will be a task 2 to write perform the test and analyze the data.
In this task, you will identify a real-world business situation and use real data to perform a data analysis leading to an actionable recommendation. You are encouraged to select an issue in your workplace or program specialty area (e.g., IT management, HC management, or MBA). Publicly available data is also an option (see Course Tips).
Note: Work performed for a client or an employer is their property and should not be used without written permission. Fictionalize identifiable organizational information (i.e., make up information regarding the identity of the organization, but do not make up the data). Obtain written permission to use any information that would be considered confidential, proprietary, or personal in nature. To obtain an organization’s permission to use proprietary information, complete and submit the attached “Organization Verification Form.”
This business situation and data will be used to complete task 2. Do not work on task 2 until you have successfully passed task 1, indicating that the business situation and data analysis plan have been approved.
Use the “Determining the Appropriate Analytical Technique” presentation in the Attachment section below and/or speak with a course instructor to help you identify the appropriate analysis technique to analyze data for these tasks.

Note: See the “Electronic Signature Instruction Sheet” for instructions on how to electronically sign the attached “Waiver-Release Form.”
Note: If you will be submitting the attached “Organization Verification Form”, complete page 1 (letter template) and then submit the entire document to your chosen organization. The organization must complete page 2 of the “Organization Verification Form” and provide you with a copy. Submit the “Organization Verification Form” as a separate attachment with task 1 if you selected that your project IS based upon/includes restricted information in the “Waiver Form.” If this selection is made on the “Waiver Form,” and the completed “Organization Verification Form” is not included as a separate attachment, your submission will not be evaluated. See the attached “Electronic Signature Instruction Sheet” for instructions on how to electronically sign the attached “Organization Verification Form.” This form is not published and will remain confidential. The organization’s name should be used on this form but can be changed to a fictional name for the remaining tasks.
