INTRODUCTION
Numeracy and data analysis are two different concepts that are linked with each other.
When the gathered numerical information is analysed in critical manner then it is known as data
analysis (Benelli, 2017). If the researcher is not able to analyse the collected data properly then it
will be very difficult to attain the future goals and objectives that are related to the study. This
report is also based upon the determination of the relationship between numeracy and data
analysis. For this purpose, telephone bill of 10 days is being used. This report covers various
topics such as calculation of mean, mode, median, standard deviation etc. Along with this, linear
forecasting model is also applied to determine future value of bill.
