Scenario
Scenario/Summary The purpose of this exercise is
to use the Excel skills you have acquired thus
far, and apply them to an analysis of a business
scenario, of your choice. This will consist of
preparing the groundwork in Excel (importing
data, preparing the analysis using tables,
charts, graphs, pivot tables, etc.) and preparing
a memo to your management, explaining your three
separate analysis. This is different than prior
iLab assignments, in that there are no specific
instructions as to what type of analysis (i.e.,
Sales/Units/discounts by Country/Rep/Product/Date/
Category, etc.) is to be performed. The general
requirement is for you to prepare a minimum of
three discrete analyses and perform a write-up to
management, using the memo format provided.

Scenario/Summary Hopefully you will find this
week's iLab activity fun and useful. We'll be
exploring the world of statistics from a business
perspective this week, allowing you to practice
your skills with descriptive statistics,
formatting, graphs, and regression analysis. As
discussed in the lesson, the value of statistics
lies in the ability to analyze data more
effectively for the purpose of improving decision
making.  You might have heard the expression that
"statistics never lie, and only liars use
statistics". There is an obvious truth in this
statement, in that, depending on the questions
being asked and the data collected, the
statistics can skew reality.
