We will then identify the most important variables in the dataset, test our assumptions to estimate the parameters, and establish the margins of error. We will then explore the dataset graphically using four plots and probability plots. And finally, we will summarize our results in a data report. The code examples will be used from the Bank and Marketing data from UCI.
