Data_Analysis_Steps_Summary
This document provides a step-by-step guide for analyzing the provided customer data,
covering descriptive statistics, visualizations, correlation, and hypothesis testing. The
following steps help summarize key findings and provide recommendations.
Steps:
1. Open Excel and input the data.
2. Use Excel functions (e.g., AVERAGE, MEDIAN) to calculate these statistics.
3. For distributions, use COUNTIF or Pivot Tables for frequency distributions.
Steps:
1. Use Excel's Insert > Bar Chart for product distribution.
2. Use Insert > Histogram for age and satisfaction data.
3. Insert > Scatter Plot for analyzing correlations between variables.
• Correlation Analysis: Use the CORREL function in Excel to check if satisfaction correlates
with spending and visit frequency.
• T-Test or ANOVA for Age and Satisfaction: Check for differences in satisfaction across age
groups.
• Chi-Square Test for Product Type and Satisfaction: Determine if satisfaction varies by
product category.
Steps:
1. Use CORREL for correlations (e.g., satisfaction vs. spending).
2. Use Data Analysis Toolpak > ANOVA or T-Test for age group analysis.
3. Create a contingency table for product vs. satisfaction and use CHI-SQ.TEST.
4. Interpretation of Results
After completing the calculations, examine patterns:
• Identify high-satisfaction products for potential focus areas.
• Note age groups with distinct satisfaction trends.
• Determine spending patterns correlating with satisfaction to target improvements.
Learning Outcomes
• Data Analysis Skills: Understanding data cleaning, analysis, and summarization.
• Interpretation of Results: Translating statistical insights into practical actions.
• Hypothesis Testing: Experience in using hypothesis tests to guide business decisions.
• Real-World Application: Applying statistics to understand customer behavior and
satisfaction.
