Critical Thinking Assignment
Data Manipulation of Clothing Store Data
In this assignment, you will import the Portfolio_Clothing_store.csv into SAS. (You can find this information by clicking “Next” at the bottom of the next two pages.) Next, you will examine the variables in the dataset using the variables list document accessed through this link. Now, create a business question this data can answer. Finally, extract the variables necessary to answer the business question and load them into a SAS dataset for analysis. Your analysis should include the necessary descriptive analytics tests to communicate your understanding of what story the data is telling us.
Your deliverables for this assignment are:
- Business questions
- Screenshot of the imported dataset. Screenshots must include the date and time of the screen capture.
- Screenshot of the loaded dataset. Screenshots must include the date and time of the screen capture.
- Descriptive statistics to include charts, graphs, tables, business insights, and the story the data is telling us.
Limit the charts, graphs, and tables in your analysis report to only those figures needed to support your findings and analysis. Do not include statistics outputs that are not relevant to your analysis. Your analysis report should be comprehensive yet concise, specific, and most importantly, insightful.
Your paper should be 4-6 pages in length, not counting the title page and the references page, and must refer to two scholarly sources, as well as the course materials. Figure notation for screenshots should comply with APA guidelines.
