The course project analyzes the number of sales, the number of sales calls made and the average time per sales number of years of experience, and last but not least the type of training undertaken for a random sample of 100 salespeople working at SALESCALL Inc. The variable ‘SALES’ defines the number of sales made by a salesperson this week. The mean number of sales made by a salesperson this week is 42.340 with a standard deviation of 4.171. The following histogram shows the frequency distribution of the number of sales made by the salespersons this week as follows: The histogram approximately follows the bellshaped curve of a normal distribution, with slight right skewness (0.07) and low kurtosis (0.22). The minimum and the maximum number of sales made by a salesperson this week are 32 and 52 respectively. The median or middle value of the distribution of the number of sales made by a salesperson this week is given as 42, which implies that about 50% of the salespersons have made more than 42 sales this week. The first quartile is given as 39.250, which implies that about 75% of the salespersons have made more than 39.250 sales this week. The third quartile is given as 45.000, which implies that about 25% of the salespersons have made more than 45.000 sales this week. The variable ‘CALLS’ defines the number of calls made by a salesperson this week. The mean number of calls made by a salesperson this week is 162.09 with a standard deviation of 18.01. The following histogram shows the frequency distribution of the number of calls made by the salespersons this week. The histogram approximately follows the bellshaped curve of a normal distribution, with negligible skewness (0.04) and moderate kurtosis (0.73). The minimum and the maximum number of calls made by a salesperson this week are 124 and 201 respectively. The median or middle value of the distribution of the number of calls made by a salesperson this week is given as 160.5, which implies that about 50% of the salespersons have made more than 160.5 calls this week. The first quartile is given as 149.00, which implies that about 75% of the salespersons have made more than 149.00 calls this week. The third quartile is given as 176.75, which implies that about 25% of the salespersons have made more than 176.75 calls this week. The variable ‘TYPE’ is a quantitative variable defining the type of training a salesperson has undergone at the call center. Some sales persons have received group training and s
