Try the Vertex42 Gantt Chart Template if you want to create and manage your project schedule more automatically. How to use this Template 1) Enter your project start date in cell E3. This will automatically update the dates in rows 6 and 7. 2) Add tasks: Choose the phase (row) and week (column) the task will start, and enter the task title into that cell. Fill in the background color to indicate task duration. To show completion, use a darker or different color. 3) Add a milestone: Create a vertical "line" by changing cell borders and background fill. Milestones like project end can be created by merging cells and formatting as needed. Additional Help The link at the top of this worksheet leads to vertex42.com explaining this template.

Lorem Ipsum February 4, 2019 Research Question Since humans have debated over automobiles, a key point has been transmission type and fuel efficiency. Historically, some believed automatic transmissions offered better fuel economy, while others favored manual transmissions. This debate persisted from early cave paintings through historic conflicts and remains today. The purpose of this report is to conclusively determine whether automatic or manual transmissions provide better miles per gallon. The data used is from the "mtcars" dataset in R. Initial analysis begins with a summary of the dataset, showcasing basic statistics for variables such as mpg, cyl, disp, hp, drat, wt, qsec, vs, am, and carb. Visualizations are crucial to understanding relationships; thus, scatter plots are created in base R graphics and ggplot2 for comparing miles per gallon against engine displacement, and boxplots to compare mpg by transmission type. Regression analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of transmission type on fuel efficiency, controlling for other variables like disp and hp. The regression results indicate that manual transmissions tend to deliver approximately 3.8 more miles per gallon than automatics, with statistically significant results. However, limitations include the omission of variables such as cylinders, which could influence the results. The analysis underscores that, while the manual transmission appears more fuel-efficient in this dataset, comprehensive conclusions require broader data and consideration of additional factors. Ultimately, this research aims to inform consumers and manufacturers about the actual fuel economy differences between transmission types, leveraging statistical and graphical analysis of real-world data to resolve this long-standing debate.
