The number of goods sold by “The Local” is in excess of onemillion per year with deliveries being about 40% of that figure.The amount of goods sold has decreased marginally in recent years.“The Local” is wholly owned but Bianca and her staff have astandard of living to maintain so there is some pressure to raiseoverall sales whilst keeping costs, particularly delivery costs, incheck.     Bianca continues: It is your job touse the sample data from last year’s overall sales to do somestatistical analyses and interpretations, investigating what thecurrent overall sales of the business are and providing insightsthat will guide future business decisions.

Below is last years overall sales vs deliveries data.

1. Please identify the qualitative and quantitative discrete,continuous varibles?

2. Is it cross sectional or time series data?

3. How do you calculate z scores and which are outliers?

4. How do you calculate the covariance and correlation and whatdoes it mean?
