Phase 1: In this phase, the student will write up a "project proposal" (1 page maximum, same format as the final report) that will include a brief introduction, description of the data, the business questions to be answered, and basic exploratory analyses using descriptive statistics (graphs and numerical summary measures). Phase 2: In this phase, the student will use the work from Phase 1 in conjunction with the feedback received from the instructor to complete all the analysis required to address the business problem. The results and final conclusions should then be written up and the final report submitted. Your report should have the following sections (Phase 1 - proposal; Phase 2 - final report), arranged sequentially: 1. Introduction and problem background (Phase 1, Phase 2) 2. Data description and the business questions to be answered (Phase 1, Phase 2) 3. Initial data exploration - descriptive statistics/graphs (Phase 1, Phase 2) 4. Analyses (Phase 2) 5.
