data using appropriate tables and graph as well as identifying and discussing the key variables to be considered. (400 words)

3. Computing Multiple Regression Analysis: An analysis of the key variables identified using the technique as well as discussing the analytics capabilities of the organization. (550 words) 

4. Discussion and Evaluation of the Outcome: Discussion of Multiple Regression Analysis outcome employed in the organisation and explaining the predicted values. (550 words)

5. Conclusions and Recommendations: Conclude on your findings and make quantitative recommendations for improvement. (250 words)
