Calculate the mean and median of the purchase amounts to determine the central tendency, as this provides a quick overview of the dataset's distribution.
B
Use scatter plots to visualize the relationship between customer age and purchase frequency, enabling the identification of any correlations between these variables.
C
Apply clustering algorithms to segment customers based on their purchase behavior, which can uncover hidden patterns and groups within the data for targeted marketing.
