As part of the quarterly reviews, the manager of a retail store analyzes the quality of customer service based on the periodic customer satisfaction ratings (on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 = Poor and 10 = Excellent). To understand the level of service quality, which includes the waiting times of the customers in the checkout section, he collected data on 100 customers who visited the store; see the attached Excel file: ServiceQuality.

  1. Using Data Mining > Cluster, apply K-Means Clustering with the following Selected Variables: Wait Time (min), Purchase Amount ($), Customer Age, and Customer Satisfaction Rating. In Step 2 of the k-Means Clustering procedure, normalize(standardize) input data, assume k= 5 clusters, 50 iterations, and Fixed start with the default Centroid Initialization seed of 12345. In Step 3, select the checkboxes “Show data summary” and “Show distances from each cluster center”.
    1. What is the most homogenous cluster? What is the number of customers in this cluster? For this cluster, what is the average standardized Euclidean distance between its observations and its centroid (center)? What is the centroid of this cluster (expressed in standardized data)?Using the cluster centroids, how would you characterize the customers in the most homogenous cluster in comparison with the customers in the remaining clusters?
    2. Which two clusters are most distinct and why? Using their centroids, how would you compare the customers of the two clusters?
  2. Using Data Mining > Cluster, apply Hierarchical Clustering with the following Selected Variables: Wait Time (min), Purchase Amount ($), Customer Age, and Customer Satisfaction Rating. In Step 2 of the Hierarchical Clustering procedure, normalize(standardize) input data and apply Ward’s clustering method, while in Step 3, select the checkboxes “Show dendrogram”, “Show Cluster Membership”, and assume k= 5 clusters.
    1. Show the obtained dendrogram.
    2. What are the sizes of the created clusters?
    3. What are the centroids of the created clusters expressed in original data.

The biggest challenges throughout the planning process is determining start up costs, determining inventory and determining the location of the store. The start up costs are a big challenge due to there being a number of variables such as how much inventory is smart to start off with, how much to pay in utilities (can easily fluctuate), and how much to pay in advertising the store to customers. Determining inventory is also a challenge because orders must be placed to keep up with inventory and determining a schedule for that is based on revenue, but during the planning process revenue can only be projected and not consistently known. Determining the location of the store is also a challenge, it is an extremely important decision that will make or break the success of the store. Calculating how many customers are nearby, as well as type of income (lower-class, middle-class, upper class, etc.) is also challenging.

The growth potential of my business is tremendous. I view after a few months, for there to be a solid foundation for revenue. The first few months may be tough because the public either doesn’t know about the store, or don’t have a trust built with the store yet. Once I am established, I see my store serving the community with well needed convenience products and establishing a

casual customer base. Once I’m established after a few months, I expect revenue to climb and stabilize. After a few years I expect to be financially in a great position. Some profits can be diverted to upgrades for the store, improving customer experience (maybe experiment with new and diverse products). After a few years, I see myself expanding by buying other Circle K franchises to open or try to buy established stores from owners. This would require saving up a lot of the profit but in the long run it is a great investment in my opinion.

C++ Funcion

For this lab you need to write a program that will read in two values from

a user and output the greatest common divisor (using Euclidean algorithm)

to a file. You will also need to demonstrate

using ostream and ostringstream by creating 2 functions to output your print heading: one that uses ostream and the other uses ostringstream.

Using ostream and ostringstream

Write two PrintHeader functions that will allow you to output to the screen and to an output file.The first should use ostream and should be called twice in main to output your print heading to the screen and to a file.The second one will use ostringstream and return a string – call it two times to output to the screen and to a file.

Greatest Common Divisor

In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more integers(when at least one of them is not zero)is the largest positive integer that

divides the numbers without a remainder.If one of them is zero then the larger value is the GCD.

Euclidean Algorithm

The Euclidean algorithm works by using successive long divisions swapping out the lowest value with the remainder and the largest value with the previous smallest value until the remainder is 0. The way it works is that you find the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. If the remainder is not 0 then the larger number gets the smaller number, the smaller number gets the remainder and we divide again. The process continues until the remainder is 0.

For example:

Let’s say we want to find the GCD of

74 & 32.

We would first divide

74 and 32.

74 / 32 = 2 r 10

Next we take the smaller number (32) and divide it by the remainder (10).

32 / 10 = 3 r 2

Again we take the smaller number (10) and divide it by the new remainder(2).

We repeat this process until the remainder is 0.

10 / 2 = 5 r 0

Once the remainder is 0 we stop and our GCD is the last non-zero remainder, which in this case is 2.

For the GCD write a function to read in the two values, a function to calculate the GCD, and a function to output the results.

Have the code run 4 times.

Test with the following inputs:

74, 32

99, 30

48, 18

12, 0

Screen INPUT/OUTPUT-should be formatted as follows –

(Class heading should display 2xs)

Enter the first integer: 72

Enter the second integer: 32
