You are currently employed by the Government of Ontario and your job is to promote this Province to International investors to bring jobs and money to Ontario. Recently Ontario has, specifically in the GTA (greater Toronto Area), grown significantly in the Information Technology sector and over the years real estate has also grown. To show the investors you understand Ontario you need to do some background research. The chart provided is part of Ontario’s growth with employment and population projections. Part of the research involves the following:
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE COMPLETED IN A REPORT FORM.
Choose a region in the GTA and calculate the indexes of growth for 2021-2041 with base year 2016. Complete this for Population and employment (Complete this by hand writing the calculations).
2021
2026
2031
2036
2041
Choose a different region and calculate the percent changes for 2021- 2041 for Population and Employment with base year 2016. (Complete this by hand writing the calculations)
2021
2026
2031
2036
2041
Select GTAH total and make a scatter plot with the use of Excel/Sheets. Copy the table to Desmos and create a regression analysis. Make a line of best fit, State the slope, y-intercept, equation and r values. (Print screen and paste your results in the assignment).
Is there a strong relationship between the two variables? Explain?
What trends do you notice (write 250 words)?
Can this information be used attract investors? How would you use this data to promote the GTA and Hamilton?
Line of Best fit Equation _____________________
Slope ____________________
Y-intercept _______________
R value ______________
Would it be effective to create a survey for the investors? What kind of survey would your create? What are ways in which you can make the survey effective. Make an effective survey containing 5 questions with a variety of methods (True/false, Multiple choice, open ended etc.)
Given that your project was a success and you manage to secure a few of this international companies what would the year 2031 employment for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) look like with a 20% increased projection of employment. How many more jobs did you create? How many jobs are there now in total for 2031?
Conduct research to determine how data management is used in other careers.
List three additional careers that require knowledge and use of data management.
How would another province like British Columbia use this to increase their employment and job prospects.
