OPTION #1: Data Reduction Approach to Data Analytics (Descriptive Analytics)

You are required to complete both parts A and B. 

Part A:

Complete Lab 3-1 Data Reduction Using Fuzzy Matching (pp. 121 – 125) in your textbook. Download Data Files Here (Links to an external site.)

Part B:

1. Your analysis should include the following:

• Introduction
• Analysis
  • Headings - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (i.e., Part 1: Identify the Questions) – headings are shown in the Lab.
• Communicate your findings, as if to a Board Member from the audit committee and then write a brief paragraph of your analysis in layman’s terms. (For example, what were the key findings from your analysis?)
• Conclusion.

2. Submit your analysis as a slide presentation (you may use PowerPoint or another tool of your choice). Submit any additional requirements noted in the Lab (i.e., Excel files, tables, etc.).

Your slide presentation should be 7-10 slides in length, not including the required cover and reference slides or other requirements of the Lab. It should conform to the guidelines found in the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find these references.
