The chart below gives information about the UK's ageing population in 1985 and makes predictions for 2035. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. Source: Office for National Statistics, National Records of Scotland, Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency Test Tip In Task 1 of the IELTS Writing modules, you may be asked to interpret and describe data presented in graph form. There are three basic types of graph: pie charts, bar charts and line graphs. Bar charts are useful for comparing the quantities of different categories. Bar charts are constructed such that the lengths of the different bars are proportional to the size of the category they represent. Bar charts usually show the numbers or percentages on the y-axis and the different categories that are being measured along the x-axis. Both axes are labeled to show what they refer to. Sometimes each category along the x-axis can be divided into two further sub-groups, e.g. 1985/2035, so that these sub-groups can be compared. Model answer The graph shows...

...customers and wants to find out more information about these customers. In analyzing the individual variable, using graphical illustrations I would be using histogram, bar chart and a pie chart because there are useful when using numerical comparison. The 3 individual variables 1) The 1st individual variable, I choose is the credit balance of the customers. Credit Balance Numerical Summary: | Credit Balance($) | Mean | 3970 | Median | 4090 | Mode | 3890 | Standard Deviation | 932 | Skewness | -0.15 | Range | 3814 | Minimum | 1864 | Sum | 198523 | Maximum | 5678 | Interpretation The mean credit balance of the customers is given as $3970. The standard deviation is given approximately as 932. The credit balance of the customers is more or less normally distributed with the peak of the bell shaped distribution lying in the range 3814. 2) The 2nd individual variable, I choose is the household size. Thus the number of people living in the households. SIZE Frequency Distribution | Size | Frequency | 1 | 5 | 2 | 15 | 3 | 8 | 4 | 9 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 3 | Interpretation The mean of the household size is known as 3 approximately as seen on Minitab. The median of the household size 3 and the mode would be 2. As seen in the bar chart above, the maximum number of a household size of 2 because it has a total of 15 members in the household. 3) The 3rd individual variable, I choose is the location of the...

...Before we begin with the data summary, descriptive statistics is defined as mathematical methods (such as mean, median, standard deviation) that summarize and interpret some of the properties of a set of data (sample) but do not infer the properties of the population from which the sample was drawn. Descriptive statistics is the term given to the analysis of data that helps describe, show or summarize data in a meaningful way such that, for example, patterns might emerge from the data. Descriptive statistics do not, however, allow us to make conclusions beyond the data we have analysed or reach conclusions regarding any hypotheses we might have made. They are simply a way to describe our data. There are two general types of statistic that are used to describe data: Measures of central tendency and Measures of spread. Description of variables and types of data given are as follows: StartSal – Numerical and can be treated as continuous. OnRoad Pct – Numerical and continuous StateU – Categorical and can be treated as nominal CISDegree – categorical and can be treated as nominal Stayed3yrs – Categorical, ordinal and coded Tenure – Numerical and continuous With the given variables, here are the descriptive statistics: Note for non numeric data variables, the descriptive analysis could not be computed. These are: StateU, CISDegree and Stayed3yrs. Variable | Mean | StDev | Variance | Sum | Minimum | Maximum | Range | StartSal | 37986.36 | 1927.05 | 3713503.50 | 2507100...

...Probability Question 1 The comparison between the bar chart and histogram are bar graphs are normally used to represent the frequency of discrete items. They can be things, like colours, or things with no particular order. But the main thing about it is the items are not grouped, and they are not continuous. Where else for the histogram is mainly used to represent the frequency of a continuous variable like height or weight and anything that has a decimal placing and would not be exact in other words a whole number. An example of both the graphs:- Bar Graph Histogram These 2 graphs both look similar but however, in a histogram the bars must be touching. This is because the data used are number that are grouped and in a continuous range from left to right. But as for the bar graph the x axis would have its individual data like colours shown in the above. Question 2 a) i) The probability of females who enjoys shopping for clothing are 224/ 500 = 0.448. ii) The probability of males who enjoys shopping for clothing are 136/500 = 0.272. iii) The probability of females who wouldn’t enjoy shopping for clothing are 36/500 = 0.072. iv) The probability of males who wouldn’t enjoy shopping for clothing are 104/500 = 0.208. b) P (AᴗB) = P(A)+P(B)-P(AᴖB) P (A|B) = P(AᴖB)P(B) > 0 P (B|A) = PAᴖBPA PAᴖBPB = PAᴖBPA PAPB = 1 P(A) = P(B) P(AᴗB) = 1 P(A)+P(B) = 1 P(B) > 0.25 Question 3 1.

...Part A & C The first educational resource that I chose was a video though Kahn academy. I chose this because not only do the students watch a video about third grade math they have to work a few math problems. This educational resource is appropriate for most of the student population. The video is for third grade math so that makes it appropriate for early childhood. The video gives gradual instructions with visual aids, which can help students who have learning disabilities. The videos on Kahn academy are appropriate for gifted and talented students because the video is based on what the students is learning and what they know. This video is appropriate for students who have challenging behaviors because the video is active and can keep a students interest. The video is appropriate for English language learners because on the website you can choose a variety of languages to hear it in. The video on third grade math warm ups is not appropriate for students with hearing impairments because it does not have closed captioning as an option. The video was not appropriate for students with visual impairments because the video shows different math activities in step-by-step instructions. If a student cannot visually see the steps, I am not sure that the video will help them. Overall, I think that the Kahn academy video would be appropriate for most of the students. The second educational resource that I chose was the Scholastic website as a...

...The activities are listed on the left side of the chart and the duration of each activity along with the percentage of completion is shown on the right side of the chart. This chart is effective in tracking the progress of tasks/activities in a project. Also, another useful tool is a Work Breakdown Structure¹, which decomposes the project into smaller tasks to show relationships between the tasks. By combining project scheduling, project time estimation and risks analysis, there will be a higher chance of finishing the project successfully without delays. 2.3.3 Cost Overruns Cost overruns are closely related to project delays, but that is not always the case. Other cases could be changing the project direction from what was planned, or stakeholders...

Open a blank Excel file and create a grouped frequency distribution of the maximum daily temperatures for the 50 states for a 30 day period. Use 8 classes. (8 points) 2. Add midpoint, relative frequency, and cumulative frequency columns to your frequency distribution. (8 points) 3. Create a frequency histogram using Excel. You will probably need to load the Data Analysis Add in within Excel. If you do not know how to create a histogram in Excel, view the video located at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gQUcRwDiik. Or a simple bar graph will also work. If you cannot get the histogram or bar graph features to work, you may draw a histogram by hand and then scan or take a photo (your phone can probably do this) of your drawing and email it to your teacher.

...1. Draw a Gantt chart for the construction phase of the program. What is the completion date if construction starts in March? What is the completion date of the project if construction is started in November? If the project is started on March 1st, 2012, the finish date is July 30th, 2013. For the November start date, the case does not mention exactly what date the project should start but rather mentions that it should start after the elections. We do not have the election date so I will assume a start date of November 14th, 2011, which is a Monday. In this case, the end date of the project would be April 11th, 2013. However, the case states that if the project starts in November, bad weather could affect the outside operations, adding as much as 2 months to the duration. If we add 2 months to phase 1, the entire project is delayed 2 months. However, if the delay only occurs in phase 2, than the end date of the project would not be affected since no tasks have phase 2 as a predecessor. This is quite unlikely since it would impossible, in real life, to proceed to phases 3 and 4 (Enclosures and Interiors) without first completing or at least having a certain percentage completed of phase 2 (Structure). For this reason, I choose to add 2 months in phase 1 and therefore have a new end date of July 4th, 2013. Please note that I have also considered that the 2 months delay include the Christmas and New Year holidays. Gantt charts of both start dates (including the...

...Organizational Dashboards The operational dashboard at Optum includes graphic representations of the data measured related to the state and federal regulatory requirements, and value drivers, for each area of the company in a concentrated form (Optum, n.d.). The data obtained from around the organization is compiled on one large screen allowing the company’s senior leaders an opportunity to visualize the big picture of how the organization is meeting its regulatory and targeted objectives. The information developed in coordination with the senior leaders is shared with the department heads and managers and is broken up into department and section related scorecards which are then shared with the individual workgroups at the discretion of the leadership staff. The departmental scorecards are specific to the value drivers for each department and primarily house the metrics related to the performance indicators established for the department or team (Optum, n.d.). As explained by Weiner, Balijepally, Tanniru, & Bunjnowski (2015), financial business objectives and goals are one of the areas included in a balanced scorecard approach to monitoring key performance indicators. As a member of the Claim Review and Resolution (CRR) clinical team at Optum, our objectives are primarily found within the financial area of the organization and focused on payment integrity. The key performance indicators used for the pre and post claim payment service area of Optum are developed by the managers...
