Greetings Class and Dr. Barrios,My name is J’shan Robinson, and I am 25 years young. I am a mother of fraternal twins (boy and girl) and they are 5 years old. I am also a full-time college student and now army veteran. I am in my last semester of my MBA program and I am sure you can imagine how excited I am. My hobbies include going to the park or something fun with my children, going on nature walks, singing, and going to the gym. I expect to learn how business statistics contribute to the operating aspect of the business and what can go wrong in the event that something is improperly calculated.As a member of the student council who is assigned the task of conducting a phone survey amongst graduate students to determine if the campus food service meets the satisfactory requirements. I would get an approximate number of how many graduate students (on campus only). A sample is a subset of a population. ” Sampling is random, so that each member of a population has an equal chance of being selected (Groebner, 1).” Once the approximate number is discussed I would move onto the appropriate ratio of the population to survey. That could be a third, fourth, fifth or even half of the population. Depending upon my status as a student, my opinion can be valued in the survey as well. Upon completion of this task, my next step would be to coordinate a list of questions but not too many because it is a simple survey. The next step would be to conduct a pretest and then actually conduct my survey collecting data.David Groebner. 2018. Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach (Tenth Edition).
