Analyzing House ads conversion rate

Now that you have confirmed that house ads conversion has been down since January 11, you will try to identify potential causes for the decrease.

As a data scientist supporting a marketing team, you will run into fluctuating metrics all the time. It's vital to identify if the fluctuations are due to expected shifts in user behavior (i.e., differences across the day of the week) versus a larger problem in technical implementation or marketing strategy.

In this exercise, we will begin by checking whether users are more likely to convert on weekends compared with weekdays and determine if that could be the cause for the changing house ads conversion rate.
