BIG MART SALES

Introduction:
The Big Mart sales data set consists of various categories. From this data, we can identify all
four data types (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio) and can be represented in a respective
graphical form.

NOMINAL:
From the data set, we can identify the nominal data variable which is the types of items in the big
mart sales. Summarized the sample data and framed it in a table, contains types of items and no.
of items available in Big Mart sales.

ITEM TYPE FREQUENCY

Baking Goods 215
Breads 60
Health and Hygiene 115
Canned 122
Fruits and Vegetables 209
Household 126
Snack Foods 315

Fig.1: Pie chart of no.of items

Inference: Graphical representation of the data is interpreted from the above table. As the data belongs
to qualitative data which is a nominal variable, can be plotted in either a pie chart or bar graph. I have
taken pie chart. Through this graph we can show how many no. of items available in the big mart

Ordinal:
From the dataset, we can identify the size of the outlet ( high, medium, small) as an ordinal data
type. From this data, we customized the data in a frequency table.

Outlet size No.of outlets Percentage

High 25 14%
Medium 78 44%
Small 73 41%
total 176

Table 2: Frequency distribution of No.of outlets

Fig.2: Bar Graph of Outlet sizes

Inference: As the outlet size comes under ordinal data we can place it in an order according to
the frequency. With the help of the above-customized data, we can plot the data in either a pie
chart or bar graph.

According to the bar graph, we can interpret that the highest no. of outlets are Medium size and
second highest no. of outlets are small size and least no. of outlets are large size. i.e., medium
size outlets > small size outlets > large size outlets as per the sample data taken.

Interval:
From the dataset, we can identify item visibility as an interval data type. As the item visibility
comes under interval data type, firstly, we need to group the data into equal intervals of classes
before customizing it into a table. This data can be customized in a frequency table.

Item-visibility Frequency Percentage

0-0.08 174 70%
0.08-0.16 60 24%
0.16-0.24 11 4%
0.24-0.32 4 2%
total 259

Table 3: Frequency distribution of item visibility

With the help of the above-customized data, we can plot the data in a histogram, formed from
grouped data, displaying frequencies.

Analysis: From the data range, Min = 0 and Max = 0.32. This histogram diagram is formed from
grouped data, displaying frequencies. The histogram is right skewed graph. Most visibility falls
under 0-0.08.

Ratio:
From the dataset, we can identify Price and Sales as a ratio data type. From this data, we can
customize the data in a frequency table.

Analysis: With the help of the above data, we can plot the data in a scatter diagram with a
trending line of linear frequency which shows that it is being positive correlation.

Conclusion:
Identified the data type and plotted the graphs concerning data type and inferred the information.
