The Local Retail Outlet

Put together a statistical report about the overall sales and deliveries of “The Local”. 
In your report, please… 
1. Provide a table in which you summarise complete descriptive statistics on ‘Overall sales’ and ‘deliveries’ of the goods represented by your sample data set (including but NOT limited to measures of central location, measures of variability, etc.). 
What insights do these statistics provide? 
Additionally, please state the coefficient of variation for ‘sales’ and 
‘deliveries’ for the entire dataset. Comment on the results you observe. 
2. Prepare frequency distributions (remember to use Sturge’s rule and create the appropriate similarly sized classes) and accompanying histograms and ogives for these quantitative sets. 
Think about and provide additional analyses/diagrams that may be of interest. 
What insights do these statistics provide? 
3. Analyse ‘Overall sales’ and ‘deliveries’ for any relationship, providing a scatter plot. 
Comment on the existence of a relationship, how you came to that conclusion, if a relationship exists further comment on its strength and, in any case, what this means in terms of managing the retail outlet. 
4. Develop cross tabulation or contingency tables to provide information on: 
a. Overall sales and fat/sugar content, please only analyse those goods that have items that exhibit Regular and Low Fat/Sugar values. 
b. Item Type and deliveries. 
Remember quantitative values must be presented as classes in cross tabulation or contingency tables. 
Be Careful to explain any patterns or anomalies you find in your tables. 
5. Prepare a pie chart to graphically represent the proportion of overall sales by each item type (create classes of overall sales for this purpose). Interpret the graph comment on any issues you perceive.
