MPA543 Week5: Economic Vitality Index
Statistics for Explanation
MPA543 Week5 Your team has been asked by the Economic Development Department of Kelsey to compare Kelsey against another US city of similar size within a range of plus or minus 15% of the population of Kelsey. To do the comparison, your team must prepare graphical and numerical descriptive statistics for each city and create an index for comparing the economic vitality of medium-sized municipalities in the United States.
