This assignment analyzes statistical data and research methods for business decision-making, focusing on a group assignment for the Holmes Institute's HI6007 course. The solution includes clustered bar charts comparing CO2 emissions, frequency distributions of welding times, and time series plots of the Rate of Inflation (ROI) and All-Ordinaries Index (XAO). It also involves a two-way scatter plot examining the relationship between XAO and ROI, descriptive statistics for both, and calculations of the correlation coefficient and a linear regression model. The regression analysis explores the impact of ROI on XAO, including hypothesis testing and an assessment of the model's fit, supported by Excel outputs and graphical representations like residual and line fit plots. The assignment demonstrates the application of statistical techniques to interpret business-related data and draw conclusions.
