he data used is about civil aviation of Canadian air carriers.

Two data sources where used and they where matched to each other using the year.

Data source for Income:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=2310003401

Data source for passengers and goods

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=2310003301

Compiled Data from two data source

(The maximum data available in the given site was from 2012 to 2020)

Year Passengers (x1000) Goods (x1000) Revenue
2012 66867 747275 20343071
2013 67991 720872 20816397
2014 72236 736764 22309270
2015 76216 696491 22832738
2016 81872 758425 23230889
2017 88416 881191 25548635

2019 94132 979161 29493379
2020 28437 936903 12223233

The dependent variable is the Revenue. This is selected as the main dependent variable is because the final objective of any aviation company is to maximise it's revenue. Also, the revenue is depended on other factors.

The Independent Variables are Passengers and Goods. It is the basic understanding that the number of passengers and goods transported by a carrier an independent factor. Even though marketing and other activities can have some influence in improving or reducing these counts, at the end it is the customer who decides the counts of this. Also, the revenue of a carrier is very highly depended on the number of passengers and goods it transport.

Passengers (x1000) Goods (x1000) Revenue
Mean 74389.33 825171 22752047.67
Median 76216 758425 22832738
Variance 402329912.5 13241135863 25167463074589
Standard Deviation 20058.16 115070.13 5016718.36
Max 94132 979161 29493379
Min 28437 696491 12223233

Standard deviation gives the measure of spread of data from the mean. we can see this in a better way if we find 2*SD as a percentage of the total range.

Passengers (x1000) Goods (x1000) Revenue
2*SD 40116.32 230140.26 10033436.72
2*SD/(Max-Min) (%) 61.06 81.42 58.1

Analysis on central tendency

  • Passengers
    • The mean and median are similar, suggesting a higher central tendency
    • The standard deviation and the 2SD/range suggest that the spread of passengers is not too less nor too much.
    • This suggest that the passenger distribution is centered around the mean of 74389.33 with a reasonable spread
  • Goods
    • The goods have a slightly different median and mean.
    • The standard deviation is also quite high suggesting a very wide spread in the goods count.
    • From the difference in mean and median and the very high spread it can be said that the goods are almost uniformly distributed. That is the central tendency is less.
  • Revenue
    • The mean and median of revenue is very similar
    • The standard deviation of the revenue a bit too high
    • The revenue tend to have a good central tendency with a high spread.

Explanation:

Correlation Passengers Goods
Revenue 0.981623104 0.2506799405

The correlation of Revenue with Passenger is close to positive 1. This suggest a strong positive correlation. This means the higher the number of passenger the higher the revenue will get.

The correlation of revenue with Goods is very week positive. This suggest that the change in goods wont have a significant effect in revenue. The slight effect that the goods number have is, when goods increases the revenue increases slightly.

Passengers (x1000) 245.5123426 18.03956854

This means the equation of revenue if revenue( y) and passenger( x) will be

y=245.51x+4488548.17

Here the intercept is 4488548.173. This is the revenue even when there is no passengers. The coefficient of passenger that is 245.51 is the average increase in revenue per 1000 passenger.

This means the equation of revenue if revenue( y) and goods( x) will be

y=10.93x+13733831.55

Here the intercept is 13733831.55 .This is the revenue even when there is no goods. The coefficient of goods that is 10.93 is the average increase in revenue per 1000 goods.

The highest absolute residual points in Passenger regression is the 8th observation corresponding to year 2019 and in case of goods regression it is 9th observation corresponding to 2020.

let us remove both of them and perform a new regression (regression statistics for this will only be given in the link of google sheet provided as this platform cannot support too much text here)

New Regression after removing the high residual entry

Passenger

New Equation: y=230.38x+5340168.80

Goods

New Equation: y=27x+2163309.77

Both the regression improved after removing these points.

From the analysis we can conclude that the passenger count have the highest influence on the revenue with a high positive correlation value of 0.981623104 while the goods count have very little influence on revenue. with a very week correlation of 0.2506799405.
