Usability Engineering Assignment 3 - Individual Assignment ( 25 %) This assignment is due on Monday, May 25, 2020, at 9am From time to time, Governments commission the collection of data, and then make the data publicly available. The Australian Government has released data collected for Tourism Research Australia regarding the international visitors to Australia: https://www.tra.gov.au/data -and -research . In particular they have published information about the state of the industry in September 2019 and comparing data from September 2018 with data from September 2019. The report and data is available in the first two files at the website link above , namely TRA State of the I ndustry 2019, and International Visitor Survey (IVS) Data – September 2019. The report, data and research were primarily aimed at explaining the financial position of the industry. However, now that the data is open source, it can be used to explain other things as well. Your task for this assignment is to study the data and write a summary report about it addressing the following questions and explaining how you analysed and found the relevant information . Data Analysis: 1. What quantitative data is pro vided? 2. What qualitative data is provided? 3. How comprehensive and complete is the data? Do you think there may be any missing data? 4. The authors of the report have produced an analysis which primarily compares profit from 2018 with profit made in 2019. On the whole was the profit increasing? What does the report say about this? 5. In the introduction to the report, the authors of the report state : “There is more understanding of diverse cultures and practices, and an increased awareness of the impact people have on the environment and the community. This has seen more interest in sus tainability, with new trends emerging, including ‘flight shaming’ and a focus on minimising travel miles.” Is there any data from the survey and report which supports this assertion? Give the actual questions , descriptions or definitions and data which could support it or reject it.6. If we consider this from a user perspective, where the user is an international tourist to Australia, is there any information in this report which could be of interest to a user? 7. What information does the report provide about technology and disruption ? 8. For maximum marks, include at least two other research questions of your choice involving the data and report . Report Requirements: In your report, you will need to explain your decisions regarding your answers to the analysis questions. In particular your decisions in relation to any missing or mismatched data should be explained and your choice of statistical analysis techniques and parameters. You should report descriptive statistics where you can, and include graphs and data summaries where appropriate. Clearly state any limitations relating to the results And critically evaluate the report and survey.
