Nemi’s problem is to analyze the effect of Advertisement on sales. Firstly, He wants to
understand the presence of a linear relationship between the sales and ‘amount spent in
advertisement’. He also wants to run a correlation and regression to know whether he
should keep spending money on Advertisements or not. If sales figures are not affected
by advertisement, he should not spend money on it.
So, take the EXCEL output of the following and write the interpretation.
 Appropriate type of Graph which can exhibit the linear relation b/w variables.
 Karl Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient
 Regression Analysis
 Graph that shows predicted v/s actual sales figures.
