What's better? Yahoo Map,Maquest,Rand McNally, or Google Map?
I prefer Google Map online because Google Earth takes longtime.
Google Map has many features like street view, hybrid, satellite, terrain.
Google Map also has points of interest photos depends on location.

The total for group S is 3587 and therefore the mean is 119.5667, the standard deviation for this data is 21.78212, the median is equal to 120, minimum value of the data is 89, the 1st quartile is 100, 2nd quartile or the median is 120, third quartile is 137.5 and finally the maximum value is 156.
The total for group A is 4363 and therefore the mean is 145.4333, the standard deviation for this data is 22.16, the median is equal to 149.5, minimum value of the data is 101, the 1st quartile is 131, 2nd quartile or the median is 149.5, third quartile is 161.75 and finally the maximum value is 185.
Produce Box-and-whisker plot for each data set and write a short explanation about the distribution of the data sets.
From the above group A box and wisker diagram the data given seems to be negatively skewed, this is becosue of the fact that the left hand side of the diagram extends more than the right hand side, this means that more observations are on the low end of data measures,therefore the data is negatively skewed according to the box and whisker diagram.
From the above box and whisker diagram of group S then we can conclude that the data is positively skewed, this is evident from the maximum value having extended more than the left hand side, therefore the data is positively skewed meaning that more observations are in the higher values of measure.
Question 2.
A company employs a number of skilled, semi-skilled and low skilled workers in its workshops. The rate of pay (£/hr) of each employee is determined by the level of skill required for the job and is graded from A to F. The number of employees in the three-year period from 2004 to 2006, together with the rate of pay for each employment grade is given below.

From the table we assume that the 2006 rates are 100 percent and for this reason we divide the rates for the other years by the 2006 rates, the table above summarises the rates for group B and D for the years 2004 and 2005.
Calculate the Laspeyres and Paasche price indices for all grades and give a brief comment about the results you obtained.

The table above represents the laspeyres index, it is derived from multiplying the price at the current period by the quantity at the base year and the total is divided by the price at the baser year multiplied by the quantity at the base year.

Using EXCEL produce a scatter plot of :
Y and X;
From the chart above it is clear that as the level of income increases then the number of cars bought increases, therefore the sign of correlation in this case is positive, meaning that as one variable increases then the other variable also increases, the line above is the trend line in the scatter diagram.
Year and Y
The chart above represents the number of cars versus year, from the chart it is clear that as the years progress the level of income also increases, the trend line shows that the correlation sign in this case is positive.
Year and X
The chart above represents the income level versus the years, the trend line shows that over the years the level of income has increased gradually and therefore there is positive correlation.
(b) Perform a linear regression analysis of the data designed to estimate the number of new cars for given disposable income and interpret the regression coefficients.
In this case our estimated model will be to find out how the level of income affects the number of cars bought; therefore number of cars is the dependent variable while the income level is the dependent variable:

Our estimated model is
Y = 31.35 + 0.02053184 X
Where Y is the number of cars bought and X is the income level, to interpret this model we can state that an increase in income by one unit will increase the number of cars bought by 0.0205 holding all other factors constant. Also if we assume that the level of income is zero and all other factors are held constant then the number of cars bought will be 31.35.
(c) From the analyses above, obtain the coefficient of correlation between the number of new cars and disposable income and interpret.
The correlation coefficient for the number of cars and income is 0.639175237, the coefficient is positive and for this reason as one variable increases then the other variable also increases, the number is also close to the number one which shows perfect correlation, therefore we can conclude that there is a strong relationship between the two variables.
(d) Using a suitable equation obtained from the regression analysis above, estimate the number of new cars bought for the following disposable income:
(i) £2,879; (ii) £7,489; (iii) £ 5,590

When the income level is 2,879 then the number of cars bought is 90.46, this is 90 cars, when the income level is 7489 then the number of cars bought is 185.122 which is 185 cars and finally when the income level is 5,590 then the number of cars bought is 146.122 which is 146 cars.
(e) Comment briefly on the likely accuracy of your results for (d).
From the results above it is clear that as income increases then the number of cars bought will also increase, the model estimated can be used to predict the number of cars bought given income but this will depend on the level of the stochastic variable which is the error term, therefore the accuracy of our model will depend on the error term associated with the model and also the standard errors of our variables.
F. Comment briefly on the relevance of disposable income, as the only factor in predicting the number of new cars bought.
Income is relevant in the determination of the number of cars purchased, this is becosue as the level of income increases then the consumers will have a larger disposable income which will increase their demand for goods and one of these goods wil be new cars, however there are other factors that influence the purchase of new cars but to this model the assumption was that only one factor influences the number of cars bought, some of the factors that would have been considered include the price of the cars.
