1.0 Task 1 - Catalogue Data 1.1 Cross Tabulations

Task 1 requires the completion of cross tabulations for variables in the data set. This analysis is appropriate for testing the statistical significant between groups of two less-than interval variables (Zikmund, et al. 2010). Although this type of analysis does not show how strong the association between variables is, relationships are identified and provide a basis for managerial action. All cells have more than 5 observations and thus there should be no issued regarding the observed frequencies. Data should be observed to better understand the relationship between variables relating to catalogue readers. Successful analysis will allow managers to make more informed decisions and more efficiently allocate resources and time. Q1 * Q2 Crosstabulation | | Q2 | Total | | Female | Male | | Q1 | 30 or younger | Count | 168 | 113 | 281 | | | % within Q1 | 59.8% | 40.2% | 100.0% | | 31 to 55 | Count | 199 | 297 | 496 | | | % within Q1 | 40.1% | 59.9% | 100.0% | | 56 or older | Count | 128 | 74 | 202 | | | % within Q1 | 63.4% | 36.6% | 100.0% | Total | Count | 495 | 484 | 979 | | % within Q1 | 50.6% | 49.4% | 100.0% |

    The year 1968 is considered one of the most turbulent, and pivotal, twelve month periods in American history.
