For the first part of this assignment, consider the following case. A marketing firm is evaluating the possibility of using a series of product promotions for the population of Cook County, Illinois.

There is some concern that if the demographics of Cook County Illinois are significantly different than the US National demographics, the product promotions would not work.
Download the Excel spreadsheet with the 2010 Census data sets for Cook County (Illinois) and the US National demographics from this link. Analyze and compare both data sets using the data analysis and biases concepts from Chapter 11 of Sekaran & Bougie (2010). Compare only those categories that you find are significant to your analysis in demonstrating whether the US demographics based promotions can or cannot be effectively used in Cook County, Illinois.
Create a graph that compares the categories from each file that you consider relevant. Create a 3-5 slide presentation with in-depth narratives in the speaker notes section that displays the graph(s) and analysis on how the Cook County demographic categories you chose differ from the national demographics.
