Purpose of this assignment
For this assignment you need to produce a report. You are required to use a variety of sources for the
collection of data, use a range of techniques to analyse the data, produce information in appropriate
formats for decision making and use appropriate software-generated information.
Scenario
A restaurant chain plans to open its second restaurant in London. To ensure this is a viable move, the
shareholders are keen to understand the market. Therefore you are asked to carry out a planned data
collection and data analysis to help the board of directors in understanding the customer pricing
preferences.(e.g. income &price, age &price)
Task 1(LO 1: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and LO 2:2.1, 2.2, 2.3) (M1, D 1,D2)
Report on Data Collection and Analysis, In this report;

Create a plan for primary and secondary data collection with presenting the survey methodology
& sampling frame used
Design a questionnaire to collect data and provide a justification for its design
Collect data and summarise the collected data using representative values
Analyse the collected data using measures of dispersion. You must be able to use the analysis of
the pricing preferences to inform and support decision making.
Carry out suitable calculations to draw useful and realistic conclusions and provide valid
recommendations. Your calculations must include quartile, percentiles and the correlation
coefficient. Explain how these calculations helped you to draw useful conclusions.
To achieve M1, have effective judgements and approach in using variety of sources for the collection of
data and range of techniques to analyse data effectively
To achieve D1, justify conclusions through synthesis of ideas and propose realistic improvements for the
collection of data and range of techniques to analyse data effectively
To achieve D2, properly manage activities in using variety of sources for the collection of data and range
of techniques to analyse data effectively
