This assignment presents a comprehensive solution to a statistics and research methods assignment (HI6007) from Holmes Institute. The solution addresses multiple questions, including an analysis of Australian export values, focusing on destination trends and changes over a ten-year period, visualized using a column chart. It also involves the analysis of umbrella sales using relative and cumulative frequency distributions, histograms, and ogives. Furthermore, the assignment delves into time series analysis, examining the relationship between retail turnover and final consumption expenditure using scatter plots, correlation coefficients, and regression models. The regression analysis includes interpretation of coefficients, the coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing for the slope's significance. The assignment demonstrates an understanding of statistical techniques and their application in business decision-making, providing detailed interpretations and analyses of the given data.
