Assignment: Statistics

Scenario

Smart businesses in all industries use data to provide an intuitive analysis of how they can get a competitive advantage. The real estate industry heavily uses linear regression to estimate home prices, as cost of housing is currently the largest expense for most families. Additionally, in order to help new homeowners and home sellers with important decisions, real estate professionals need to go beyond showing property inventory. They need to be well versed in the relationship between price, square footage, build year, location, and so many other factors that can help predict the business environment and provide the best advice to their clients.

Prompt

You have been recently hired as a junior analyst by D.M. Pan Real Estate Company.

The team has asked you to select a region, complete an initial analysis, and provide the report to the team.
