Statistic homework - Case Study Example

We summarize data on the variables and investigate possible relationship between amount spent and the other variables. This section analyzes the collected data from the sample. The section is organized into two parts, the first part offers descriptive statistics through graphical and numerical summaries while the second part analyses relationships through graphical representation and correlation analysis. Analysis of distribution of the three variables suggests a correlation between amounts spent time spent in the website.

A similar trend can also be identified between amount spent and number of pages that a customer vies. A relationship can therefore be suggested between amounts spent and both time and number of pages viewed. The summary statistics shows that Friday had the highest number of people visiting the website and Monday followed this.
