Revenue analysis template
Use the Revenue Analysis Template to display the data in your research from the Revenue Worksheet.
Also, report the means and standard deviations as whole dollars.
After filling in the template,
Answer 3 questions:
1) Which set of data shows the highest variation and which shows the lowest variation?
2) Which state shows the highest and lowest variations in total income and total sales tax collections?
3) Which state’s tax collections are more consistent and fluctuate the least?
Sample Solution
Unfortunately, I cannot complete your request as I don't have access to your specific research data or the "Revenue Analysis Template" and "Revenue Worksheet" you mentioned. To fill in the template and answer your questions, I would need access to both the template and the data it's meant to hold.
However, I can provide you with general guidance on how to complete the task yourself.
Steps:
-
Fill in the Revenue Analysis Template:
- Enter the relevant data from your research in the designated fields of the template. Make sure to follow the template's format and instructions.
- Calculate the means and standard deviations for each data set as instructed, rounding them to whole dollars.
-
Analyze the results:
- Identify the data set with the highest standard deviation as this indicates the highest variation. Conversely, the data set with the lowest standard deviation shows the least variation.
- Compare the standard deviations of different states' total income and total sales tax collections to determine which state has the highest and lowest variations in each category.

-
- Analyze the standard deviations across all data points for each state. The state with the lowest overall standard deviations could be considered to have the most consistent tax collections with the least fluctuation.
-
Document your findings:
- Write down your answers to the 3 questions, clearly stating which data set or state exhibits the highest/lowest variation in each case.
- Briefly explain your reasoning and calculations where relevant.
Remember, I cannot access or process your specific data, so you'll need to complete the steps outlined above using your own information and the provided template.
