Format
A dataset with 36 observations on the following 5 variables.
Discount | Amount of discount: 5.00% , 10.00% or 15.00% |
Store | Store number (1-12) |
Display | Featured End of Aisl , Featured Middle of A , or Not Featured |
Sales | Number sold during one week |
Price | Wholesale price (in dollars) |
Details
Grocery stores and product manufacturers are always interested in how well the products on the store shelves sell. An experiment was designed to test whether the amount of discount given on products affected the amount of sales of that product. There were three levels of discount, 5%, 10%, and 15%, and sales were held for a week. The total number of products sold during the week of the sale was recorded. The researchers also recorded the wholesale price of the item put on sale.
