Task 3: Excel Report

1 OVERVIEW OF THE TASK
This file will test your skills to collect, summarize and present data using Microsoft Excel. It

will also test your understanding to interpret the output produced by Excel to solve business problems.

You will need to use the dataset allocated to you, as well as to perform data collection and produce
numerical and graphical summary. You will need to submit an Excel file following the requirement as
explained below.

2 TASKDESCRIPTION
There are two datasets involved in this task: Dataset 1 and Dataset 2, detailed below.

Dataset 1: Writers will receive the Dataset 1 file with this file.

Dataset 2: You will need to collect a dataset to answer your own research question. The details are
given in Section 6 below. You will need to collect data from at least 30 international students(living in
Australia) Note: You can make google forms and collect the info yourself. The data should have 2
categorical variables that will answer your research question (see Section 6).

Both datasets should be saved in an Excel file. All data processing should be performed in Excel.

Your tasks are described below.

1. Section 1: Description about the Datasets

1. Dataset 1: Give a short but clear description: (1) source, (2) data source type (either primary or
secondary data), (3) variables, (4) types of variables
2. Dataset 2:
i. State your research question (this is not the survey questions)
ii. Give a short but clear description: (1) source, (2) primary/secondary data, (3) variables,
(4) limitation

2. Section 2: Do you believe that 70% of Sydney Airbnb room types are “Entire
Home/Apartment”?

Using Dataset 1, provide the frequency and the proportion (either as a decimal or a
percentage) for each category for the variable room_type. You also need to provide a
graphical display that easily shows the proportion of each category. Finally, write a comment
about your findings and answer the question.

3. Section 3: Is the average Daily Price of Airbnb less than $200?

 Using Dataset 1, describe the distribution of the variable price. You need to provide numerical
summary (sample size, mean, standard deviation and median) as well as graphical display
which shows the outliers, if any. Finally, write a comment about your findings and answer the
question.

4. Section 4: Is there a difference in the Daily Price among the four popular neighbourhoods of
Sydney Airbnb?

Using Dataset 1, provide the numerical summary for the variable price grouped by four
neighbourhood: Manly, Randwick, Sydney and Waverly. Note that you will need to filter the
variable neighbourhood to include only those four neighbourhoods. You also need to provide
graphical display which shows any outliers. Finally, write a comment about your findings and
answer the question.

5. Section 5: Do Airbnb accommodations that have higher number of bedrooms tend to have
higher price?

Using Dataset 1, describe the relationship between the variable bedrooms and the variable
price. You need to provide both numerical summary as well as graphical display. Finally, write
a comment about your findings and answer the question.

6. Section 6: Exploration of Two Categorical Variables (your own research question)

Suggest a research question around the topic of Airbnb or other temporary accommodation,
which involves two categorical variables. You need to design a survey that consist of only two
questions, resulting in two categorical variables.

Store the data you collected in the same Excel file, in a separate worksheet called Dataset 2.
Then, describe the relationship between the two variables. You need to provide both the
summary statistics and graphical display. Finally, write a comment about your findings and
answer the research question.

Additional requirement:

Your Excel file should have at least 8 worksheets with the following names and order: Sec 1, Sec 2, ...,
Sec 6, Dataset 1, Dataset 2. Each worksheet should address the tasks in each section correspondingly.
Additional worksheets are allowed if named appropriately, these should be placed at the end, after
Dataset 2. In the first worksheet (Sec 1), you should leave the cell A1 empty.
