This report presents a statistical analysis of startup costs, incorporating regression analysis and hypothesis testing. The assignment begins with an examination of frequency and relative frequency distributions for different business types, constructing a histogram for visualization. The analysis reveals that the distribution of startup costs is not normal, and there are significant variations across different businesses. The report then conducts hypothesis testing using ANOVA to determine if there are significant differences in startup costs. Finally, a regression model is developed and analyzed, with the results indicating a strong fit. The report concludes with an interpretation of the regression results, including a 95% confidence interval for independent variables and a summary of hypothesis testing outcomes, highlighting the significance of the model and its variables.
