Re: Analysing and drawing conclusion from the various variables of students belonging to the
8 core related subjects have been taken for consideration. For the purpose of understanding the
pattern of score in these 8 subjects, a research has been conducted. Apart from that, an attempt
has been made to gain an understanding of 8 core units along with number of attendances in
lectures and tutorials. For ensuring the uniformity, the 8 core units are the subjects that are part
of the syllabus of Bachelor of Commerce course. Sample research has been conducted on the 500
students that are pursuing course of Bachelor of Commerce from the Aussie university.
Accordingly, it can be said that these 500 students represent all the students that are currently
studying from the concerned university.
For this purpose, all the reasonable assumptions have been duly considered. For instance, while
considering the ‘gender’ variable, there possible answers have been taken into consideration
namely, ‘male’, ‘female’, and ‘prefer not to disclose’. Further, number of attendances has been
considered in both lecturers as well as tutorials. Such number of attendances has been given out
of 11.
Several interpretations can be derived from calculations as well as statistical tools performed on
the given set of data. For the ease of understanding, only those statistical tools and techniques
have been applied that are widely used and output of which can be understood by anyone. One of
the most important and crucial decision that has been derived is the extent and nature of
relationship between the number of attendances and the score in core unit 8 by the concerned 500
students’ constituting the sample. Apart from that, paired two sample t-test and regression
analysis have been performed so as to determine the nature and extent of relationship that exist
between the scores of core unit 4 and number of attendances. This can be interpreted from the
fact that the correlation between the two related variables namely, number of attendance and the
score of core unit 4 is positive indicating a positive relationship between these two related
2

variables. It has come to the observation that both the attendances have some sort of relationship
with the scores of core unit 4.
Secondly, it has come to the notice that core unit 4 i.e., business analytics is the dominating
subject. There can be several reasons for which dominancy. One of the most possible reasons can
be weightage of core unit 4 in the overall scenario. Another reason can be that this subject is the
foundational subject and as such it lays the foundation for the remaining 7 core subjects.
Accordingly, it can be said that the
