Final Project Assignment Instructions
Scenario Background:
A marketing company based out of New York City is doing well and is looking to expand internationally. The CEO and VP of Operations decide to enlist the help of a consulting firm that you work for, to help collect data and analyze market trends.
You work for Mercer Human Resources. The Mercer Human Resource Consulting website lists prices of certain items in selected cities around the world. They also report an overall cost-of-living index for each city compared to the costs of hundreds of items in New York City (NYC). For example, London at 88.33 is 11.67% less expensive than NYC.
More specifically, if you choose to explore the website further you will find a lot of fun and interesting data. You can explore the website more on your own after the course concludes.

Assignment Guidance:
In the Excel document, you will find the 2018 data for 17 cities in the data set Cost of Living. Included are the 2018 cost of living index, cost of a 3-bedroom apartment (per month), price of monthly transportation pass, price of a mid-range bottle of wine, price of a loaf of bread (1 lb.), the price of a gallon of milk and price for a 12 oz. cup of black coffee. All prices are in U.S. dollars.
You use this information to run a Multiple Linear Regression to predict Cost of living, along with calculating various descriptive statistics. This is given in the Excel output (that is, the MLR has already been calculated. Your task is to interpret the data).
Based on this information, in which city should you open a second office in? You must justify your answer. If you want to recommend 2 or 3 different cities and rank them based on the data and your findings, this is fine as well.
Deliverable Requirements:
This should be ¾ to 1 page, no more than 1 single-spaced page in length, using 12-point Times New Roman font. You do not need to do any calculations, but you do need to pick a city to open a second location at and justify your answer based upon the provided results of the Multiple Linear Regression.
The format of this assignment will be an Executive Summary. Think of this assignment as the first page of a much longer report, known as an Executive Summary, that essentially summarizes your findings briefly and at a high level. This needs to be written up neatly and professionally. This would be something you would present at a board meeting in a corporate environment. If you are unsure of an Executive Summary, this resource can help with an overview. How to Write an Executive Summary That Gets the Job Done 2023.pdf
Things to Consider:
To help you make this decision here are some things to consider:
Based on the MLR output, what variable(s) is/are significant?
From the significant predictors, review the mean, median, min, max, Q1 and Q3 values?
It might be a good idea to compare these values to what the New York value is for that variable. Remember New York is the baseline as that is where headquarters are located.
Based on the descriptive statistics, for the significant predictors, what city has the best potential?
What city or cities fall are below the median?
What city or cities are in the upper 3rd quartile?

All answers in a word document plus an excel document for graphs where necessary

This geometry course is 2 semesters worth of work, and needs to be done between the 17th of June and the 23rd of July. You would just be completing the course for me, as I am a busy person and do not have the time to complete it myself. Please get me a grade of AT LEAST a B+ or above. Thanks!

The instructions for the assignment can be found in a pdf file below. For this assignment, a Jamovi app must be used to solve the problems as well as the data sets named data21 
and data 22.

Please write my maths internal assessment for tonight. My topic is “Correlation between internet usage and school grade.” I did a survey asking the students in my school “What is your class”, “How many hours of screen time do you have accumulated on your phone in a week (average)?”, “What final grade did you get in maths? (Average of all bimestres)”, “Did you pass in all of them?”(recuperação is a Portuguese word and it means not passing) and If they didn’t pass in any of them, how many times? I’ll send the survey with the data collected and my hypothesis is that the higher the use of internet, the lower the grades. Also, CLASSES THAT ARE 10, THEIR MAXIMUM GRADE IS 7 SINCE THEY ARE IN IB!!!

In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, upon being presented with a Th.D. (Doctor of Thinkology), the Scarecrow proudly exclaims, “The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.” Analyze the statement made by the Scarecrow. Present your analysis and give a complete description of the triangles that satisfy the statement.
Find another example of math being used in: 
Movies, television, popular culture, art, music and harmonics, scientific research papers, newspapers or magazine articles, nature and natural phenomena, voting, national security, manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, business, economics, or some noteworthy or pivotal historical moment.
Research and explain whether or not the math was used correctly.
It can be short and sweet!!!!!!!!

Subject: Application of Differential Equation

You can use other outside resources. 

This is a 12-page report on the set topics I will provide. 
The class is operation research. The purpose of this class is to find optimal performance within the shipping and trade industry. What you must do is go through each topic and go into depth on it. Along with that what is key is to figure out the methodology. In a sense Display your knowledge of the “math” of the topic. 
Operation research is a very simple math, but very methodical. You can add charts and graphs to help describe it. 
I will attach two essays, which are basically the same thing, but on a smaller scale. This can help with your guidelines. I will also upload notes on each topic for you to look at if that helps. Lastly, I will upload the document of all the topics. There are 13 topics so a page or two each will be more than enough.
Please feel free to ask me any questions.
