Introduction

Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the conducting of business activities (e.g., distribution, buying, selling, marketing, and servicing of products or services) electronically over computer networks. It includes any business transaction executed electronically between companies (business-to-business), companies and consumers (business-to-consumer), consumers and other consumers (consumer-to-consumer), public sector and business (government-to-business), public sector to citizens (government-to-citizen), and public sector to public sector (government-to-government). Business activities that are strong candidates for conversion to e-commerce are ones that are paper based, time consuming, and inconvenient for customers.

Electronic and Mobile CommerceBusiness-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce is a form of e-commerce in which customers deal directly with an organization and avoid intermediaries.

Part One: Research
I have collected the data of retail sales and e-commerce sales of the U.S for the years 2009 to the
year 2018 from the website https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2018/econ/e-stats/2018-estats.html.
Using the data, I have prepared the spreadsheet below for the total retail sales, e-commerce sales
