This business analysis report is divided into two tasks. Task 1 analyzes startup costs for various businesses (pizza, bakery/donuts, shoe store, gift shop, and pet store) using descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, and ANOVA to determine cost differences. The analysis reveals the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance for each business type. Task 2 focuses on sales and advertising, using regression analysis to establish relationships between sales volume and factors like square footage, advertising costs, inventory, and the number of competing stores. The report includes regression equations, t-tests to assess relationships, and confidence intervals to assess the significance of variables. The report concludes by identifying key drivers of sales and the impact of removing insignificant variables from the regression model.
