Can anyone help me write a report ??windows vista internet explorer



what is the report about?
try microsoft task launcher
IS THIS !@#@%$ HOMEWORK HELP?! NO! IT'S CALLED "PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN"!
Man, I didn't get any help with my homework over the internet when I was in school!!! Nobody had the internet!! You're so lucky, except it's been so long since I've been in school, I have no idea what a template is or how to do an outline! Sorry!
Hold on let us do your job for you %26amp; you pass on the money
The important thing to do here is split the report into sections, for instance.

Introduction



The Introduction provides essential background information. The sections



required in the introduction vary, depending on the type of report and the



department to which you belong.



The introduction of a data commentary report usually does the following:



1. explains the purpose of the report



2. describes the scope and limitations



3. identifies the methods used



4. presents a brief plan of the report



These four stages of an introduction are present in the introduction of the



sample report.



This report uses a



descriptive statistical method to analyse and compare the net assets ($m) of



a sample of companies in four different manufacturing sectors; Sector A, Sector



B, Sector C and Sector D. For the purposes of the report it is assumed



that the sample of data analysed for each sector is representative of the entire



population of companies. However a comparison of the data is limited by the



varied number of observations for each sector. The discussion presents an analysis



of the data using descriptive measures of frequency distribution, central tendency



and standard deviation which reveal similar net asset figures between the four



different manufacturing sectors.



2 Data analysis



Close box



Data Analysis



The Data Analysis section provides an interpretation of the data and comments



on the significance of the findings.



The body of the report consists of a series of paragraphs providing an interpretation of the data, and is often referred to as the Discussion or Data Analysis. Before writing this section of the report you should prepare an outline which orders your ideas into a logical sequence. You can then expand these ideas into paragraphs. Each paragraph should commence with a topic sentence stating the main point of the paragraph, followed by a group of related sentences which support and expand the main idea.



The topic sentence for each paragraph in the sample report has been provided



for you to study. These sentences are shown in blue. Read through each



of these topic sentences, including those in the complete paragraphs. Notice



how the topic sentence in each paragraph maintains the overall theme of data



analysis. For example, the Discussion initially focuses on sampling, followed



by a discussion of frequency distributions, histograms, medians and means,



standard deviations, and inter-quartile ranges. Evaluative comments on the



significance and implications of the results then follow.



To enable a comparison of the net assets (individual



data, in million dollars, $m) of the companies in the four different manufacturing



sectors a random sample from each of these populations was made (see Appendix



I). ........................................... [topic sentence only]

The results of research are usually presented in both a written and graphic



form, for example text, figures, tables, and graphs. The text assists the



reader to focus on the most important aspects of the data, whilst the graphic



illustrations usually present the complete findings. Data presented in a graphic



form may be included in the main text or in an appendix. Generally, data of



primary importance to the discussion is presented in the body of the report,



and data referred to indirectly is included in an appendix. The size of



a table or figure may also determine placement in an appendix.



It can be seen from Table 1 that far less samples



were obtained from Sector 3 than the other sectors. This could have resulted



in a significantly lower range because there was less opportunity for an individual



company to have extremely high or low assets. As the number of companies in



each sector increased, so did the sum of their total net assets. This is significant



because it indicates that the majority of companies throughout manufacturing



sectors had similar net asset values.



The general spread of net assets for each sector



can be seen by allocating the raw net asset figures into frequency distributions



and then histograms for each of the four manufacturing sectors . Using



histograms as a graphical representation 'allows us to comprehend the shape



of frequency distribution at a glance' (Harrison and Tamaschke, 1993, p. 91)



and is therefore a quick and easy way to determine the asset distribution for



each sector.

Figure 1: Histograms of Data from Different Manufacturing Sectors



(Note the histograms were obtained using Minitab for Windows, with 24 intervals



between the range of 0-600 $m, thus midpoints were allocated every 25$m. A number



of few extreme values have been omitted to provide a more precise representation



of the majority of the data within each manufacturing sector. For full histograms



covering the entire range of values refer to Appendix 2.)

Table 2: Measures of Central Tendency.



As indicated in Table 2, we can see that the median



and both means for all manufacturing sectors are close to the suspected 300



$m figure. 'Measure of central tendency is defined as a single term that



is considered most representative of the whole set of data' (Johnson, 1978,



p. 182) thus using a mode for this value would be inappropriate (see Appendix



1) The reason for this is that three of the manufacturing sectors contained



more than one net asset figure as the most common. In Sector 4, the minimum



value was also a modal value, certainly not representing where the majority



of data lies. The problem in using the mode arises from the fact that continuous



data with two decimals is used for the initial net asset values, thus it is



rare that two companies have equal net assets in any given sector.

Figure 2: Boxplot comparison of Net Assets ($,m)



A large difference between the median and mean for Sectors



1 and 4 respectively is apparent upon looking at Table 2 . In sector



1, the mean is far higher than the median. This is due to one company having



an extremely large net asset figure ($1530.06 $m), and many outliers above the



mean (see Figure 2). . .

3 Conclusion



Close box



Conclusion



The Conclusion sums up the main points which have emerged from the Data Analysis.



The conclusion of a data commentary report usually provides a brief summary of the methods of data analysis and the main results. It should also comment on the reults by making generalisations from the results where appropriate, explaining possible reasons for the results and discussing implications of the results. Any arguments presented in the body of the report should be referred to here. A conclusion should never introduce new information.



The data from four different manufacturing sectors



has been analysed through the use of descriptive measures of central tendency,



frequency distribution, and standard deviation. Robust statistics were



also deployed to provide a better indication of net asset values within sectors



with extreme values as these values can distort calculations of central tendency



and dispersion. The relatively close measures of central tendency identified



in the analysis suggest that although the spread of assets between the sectors



differs; sectors 1 and 3 had small spreads of assets and sectors 2 and 4 had



a larger net asset range, the majority of companies across the four sectors



have similar net asset values; a higher frequency of assets values at approximately



300 ($m).

References



The Reference List includes all sources cited in the report. It should be on a separate page and arranged alphabetically by author. Each reference should include the following bibliographic details: author(s), date of publication, title, place of publication, and publisher. A reference for a periodical article requires two titles - the article title and the periodical title - as well as the page numbers of the article. You will need to follow the preferred style for references specified by your school or department. It is important to follow these guidelines precisely and to be consistent in the setting out of your reference list.

Appendices



Close box



Appendices



An appendix includes any supporting evidence which is not possible to incorporate



into the body of the report.



When labelling an appendix, the title should clearly and precisely indicate



the contents of the appendix. The title used for Appendix 1 could be improved



by describing the contents more specicfically (e.g. Random sample



of net assets ($,m) of companies from the four manufacturing sectors).



Appendix 1 Random Sample of Data



Appendix 2 Histograms of the entire range of company net assets ($m) values



for the four manufacturing sectors

sectors



I hope this helps you. For more help, i would go to the owl at purdue websight. Good Luck
