Internal Code: IAH280
Case Study Assignment Help:
Task:
You are the new Director of Operations for Transport for London’s (TfL’s) “Santander”; Bike Hire Scheme. The docking machines all over London secure bikes that have been returned to the docks by customers, but they are then not in the optimum place at the start of each day for the customers to hire them again. So every night, TfL re-distributes bikes back to the docks where they are needed. The number of bikes hired each day is automatically recorded on each day and you have the data for each day’s hires between July 2014 and August 2010. In addition, daily temperature data has been included for each day of the recorded sample.
Your job involves analyse this large dataset to address the following taks. You will consider this large dataset that youhave been provided with as a population.
Tasks1. What are the average daily number of bikes hired, the standard deviation and the 95% confidence interval forthis population bike hires? [5%]Using some of these statistics and the maximum and minimum number of daily hires, can you determinewhether this population of daily hires is normally distributed or not? Illustrate your answer graphically. [10%]Why is a normally distributed population important for data analysis? [5%]
2. Now use the RANDBETWEEN function in Microsoft Excel to select three simple random samples of 10, 50 and 500 days from the population. Using just your samples, calculate the mean, median, standard deviations and mode if applicable for each random sample. [10%].Compare these outcome figures. How do the mean and SD change with sample size? [10%].
3. Now use Forecast function in Microsoft Excel for the last part of the data set to predict the next value basedon a linear trend for the No. of hired Bicycle Comment on your results. How might this data be used to efficiently to predict the required future resources within TfL? [5%]
4. Create a Pivot table in Excel to calculate the average number of hires on each day (Monday to Sunday) overthe population and summaries this in a table. Comment on your results. How might this data be used to efficiently allocate resources within TfL? [10%]
Create a Pivot table in Excel to calculate the sum number of hires on each season (winter, spring, summer and autumn) over the population and summaries this in a table. Comment on your results. How might this data be used to efficiently allocate resources within TfL? [10%]
Create a Pivot Report and a Pivot Chart of the best scenario that this data set can present also use slicer in Excel Comment on your results. How might this Report and chart used to efficiently allocate resources within TfL? [10%]
5. Included in the dataset is a record of the average temperatures for each of the days in the study. Using correlational analysis, establish whether there is a relationship between the temperature and the number of bikes hired. Think about how you might visualise this relationship in Excel. [10%]
Using Regression Analysis, further explore the relationship between temperature and bicycle hires. Think about the key aspects of the analysis and how you would comment on the outcomes. Interpret these outcomes and produce an appropriate narrative to accompany the statistics. [10%]
Comment on the limitations of the data. How could data collection be improved to provide a more accurateanalysis? [5%]

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that
