Week 1 assignment

Approach

For this assignment, I selected a retail sales dataset containing 1,000 transactions. The dataset includes information about individual transactions, including product category, quantity, price per unit, and total sales amount.

I chose this dataset because I work in retail analytics and wanted to work with familiar data. I plan to select the variables most relevant to sales and use them to create a smaller data frame. I would also like to summarize sales by product category to compare the performance of different categories.

The dataset was obtained from a public GitHub repository and contains 1,000 retail transactions across three product categories: Beauty, Clothing, and Electronics.
