Objective

The objective of this tutorial is to explain how bivariate analysis works.This analysis can be used by marketers to make decisions about their pricing strategies, advertising strategies, and promotion stratgies among others.

Bivariate analysis is one of the simplest forms of statistical analysis. It is generally used to find out if there is a relationship between two sets of values (or two variables). That said, it usually involves the variables X and Y (statisticshowto.com).

Dataset - We will be using two online datasets available in R for this tutorial

plot(y3 ~ x2, data = anscombe, pch = 16)
abline(lm(y3 ~ x3, anscombe), col = "grey20")

Question 1:is there a relationship between x and y? If so, what does the relationship look like?

Yes,the relationship between x and y is positive, but with a noticeable outlier.The line is positive and linear going upwards.

library(readr)
library(readr)
ad_sales <- read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/utjimmyx/regression/master/advertising.csv')
## `curl` package not installed, falling back to using `url()`
## New names:
## Rows: 200 Columns: 6
## ── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## Delimiter: ","
## dbl (6): ...1, X1, TV, radio, newspaper, sales
## 
## ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
## ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.
plot(sales ~ TV, data = ad_sales)

plot(sales ~ radio, data = ad_sales)

Question 2:Is there a relationship between TV advertising and Sales? If so, what does the relationship look like?

The relationship between sales and tv advertising is positive. As tv sales advertising spend increases the sales also increase.

Question 3:Can you plot the relationship between radio advertising and Sales? If so, what does the relationship look like?

Between Radio advertising and sales there is a positive linear relationship. Radio advertising sees to generate more sales but overtime it weens off.

Question 4: Explain one of the functions you learned in your own words.

i learned the functions of running a plot and how to read the plot and the relationships between x and y.
