In this skill you will be introduced to the role of data analytics in business domains. After reviewing examples of how business analytics have helped large and small companies, you'll learn about a simple framework, the FACT framework, for making data-driven decisions in a business domain. 

You will then be introduced to R and also use R to perform some basic analytic tasks like reading and writing data, and becoming familiar with your data. Importantly, you are not expected to memorize lots of code. Instead, you will explore resources for helping you create code including using built-in documentation for base functions, RStudio, an integrated development environment, and some websites that contain information about using R and RStudio.
