In the Content for Module 10, you will find a folder with case study descriptions and data files. Select one case study as the basis for your final report.Evaluate the data file and decide how best to analyze the data based on the scenario provided. Conduct the analysis by running three data mining strategies that produce defendable and significant results. The strategies you choose will depend on the type of information provided in the chosen data set. Choose from the strategies you have learned throughout the year, which may include:
Descriptive data exploration and aggregation (including pivot tables, histograms, and scatter plots)
Sampling
Hypothesis testing
ANOVA
Regression analysis
Time series analysis
Optimization
Clustering
Classification
Using the results of each of the three analyses, select and produce at least three MS Excel visualizations that show the significance of the results. Make sure that:
At least one visual is from Excel
At least one visual is from Tableau Public
The analyses, the results, and the related visualizations are to be used to produce a persuasive argument in the form of an 8-10 page report that will describe any recommended actions to fully address the problems described in the initial scenario. Use APA formatting.The data were obtained in a survey of students math and portuguese language courses in secondary school. It contains a lot of interesting social, gender and study information about students. You can use it for some EDA or try to predict students final grade.
