BUS-2100 trains business students to use numbers to make decisions and to question numbers others present. The samples here work the course’s module projects in the style of Wisniewski and Shafti, with data, Excel-ready tables and a recommendation each time.

Send the exact assignment or rubric from your classroom and a custom sample written to it lands in 24 to 48 hours, the first one free. BUS-2100 is TESU’s Quantitative Skills for Business course. It covers quantitative decision making in six modules: accuracy and integrity of quantitative information, statistics and probability, decisions under uncertainty, quality control and forecasting, stock control and project management, and financial decision making.

What BUS-2100 is really about

The course uses Wisniewski and Shafti’s Quantitative Analysis for Decision Makers, which presents each technique through business scenarios and worked examples. Module 1 asks whether quantitative information can be trusted, Module 2 applies descriptive statistics and probability, and Module 3 moves to inference and decisions under uncertainty. Module 4 covers quality control and forecasting, Module 5 inventory control and project scheduling, and Module 6 financial decisions such as discounting and investment appraisal.

Because the course is applied, every graded piece expects numbers in support of a position, even the discussions. The module projects often use real data or case scenarios and call for Excel charts and tables, so samples show the data, the calculation, the chart choice and the interpretation together. Three proctored exams at the ends of Modules 2, 4 and 6 draw on the textbook’s progress checks and worked examples.

What BUS-2100’s assessments ask for

Six module projects, one per module and worth 30 percent of the grade together, ask you to analyze data or a case scenario, often in Excel, and interpret the results. Nine discussions count 25 percent, six quizzes 6 percent and three proctored exams 39 percent. Expect projects that ask for a calculation, a chart and a recommendation a manager could use.

Where students lose points in BUS-2100

Projects lose points when calculations appear without interpretation, when charts are chosen for decoration rather than accuracy, or when results are reported to false precision. Another frequent error is treating a sample result as certain; inference questions want a confidence interval or a test and a plain statement of what it means. Mentors also look for checks on the data itself before analysis begins.

Module 1

BUS-2100 Module 1 assignment example

Two wage claims tested with Bureau of Labor Statistics data: average hourly earnings up 30.4 percent from December 2019 to December 2025 against consumer prices up 26.1 percent, so real pay rose only 3.4 percent, with a 2020 jump caused by low-wage job losses, real pay below its 2020 level until 2025, a 4.3-point drop in inflation misread as a percent, and a missing October 2025 price index.

Module 2

BUS-2100 Module 2 assignment example

A composite Austin food truck comparing 20 weekdays at two sites: an office park averaging $1,232 a day with a coefficient of variation of 9.7 percent and a downtown plaza averaging $1,297.50 with 31.0 percent, break-even of $1,000 missed on 1 day against 6, rain explaining 6 of 7 rainy-day misses, and a weather-based switching rule worth about $1,441 a day in expected sales.

Module 3

BUS-2100 Module 3 assignment example

A composite online kitchenware retailer's checkout test, 7.0 against 8.5 percent conversion on 2,400 visitors each, with z = 1.94, a two-sided p-value of 0.052 and a 95 percent interval from about 0 to 3.0 points, followed by a payoff table where rolling out maximizes expected value at $208,096 but extending the test minimizes maximum regret at $39,560.

Module 4

BUS-2100 Module 4 assignment example

A composite regional bakery's 800-gram loaves sampled eight times, five loaves each: a grand mean of 801.6 grams, control limits of 798.0 to 805.2 grams, one sample at 810.8 grams traced to a recalibrated scale and revised limits of 796.6 to 803.9; then three years of quarterly sales turned into seasonal indices from 0.910 to 1.124 and a trend of about 4,640 loaves a quarter, forecasting about 2.03 million loaves next year.

A composite hardware store's best-selling interior paint, 4,800 gallons a year, with an economic order quantity of about 346 gallons, annual ordering and holding cost of about $1,247 against $1,332 for the current 500-gallon orders, and a reorder level of about 256 gallons with 64 in buffer stock; then a seven-activity remodel with an 11-week critical path, one week of float on fixture ordering, and a $2,400 crash that saves a week worth about $6,000.

Using a BUS-2100 sample the right way

Send your module project and its data, and a first custom sample comes back free inside 24-48h. Use it to see the full sequence: check the data, calculate, chart and interpret. Then run the same steps on your own numbers.

How these samples are written

Quantitative samples here check the data first, show each calculation with its inputs, choose charts for accurate reading and end with a recommendation in plain language, following Wisniewski and Shafti. Requests use your module’s data.
