Background information about me to assist essay:
I am a 25-year-old biracial woman raised in the Methodist faith as the eldest of three daughters. Although my biological father was from my mother’s previous relationship, the man I consider my dad made the incredibly meaningful decision to adopt me when I was one year old after marrying my mother. Despite not being related by blood, he chose to be a father figure in my life. My upbringing was moderately strict initially, but as my sisters and I grew older, our parents became more lenient. While we could improve how we approach disagreements by prioritizing resolution over being correct, a significant strength is the unwavering support and presence we provide one another as a family unit. The role my adoptive father took on by choice is invaluable, and I view him as my dad in every sense of the word.

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 sales team has tasked you with preparing a report that examines the relationship between the selling price of properties and their size in square feet. You have been provided with a Real Estate Data Spreadsheet spreadsheet that includes properties sold nationwide in recent years. The team has asked you to select a region, complete an initial analysis, and provide the report to the team.
Note: In the report you prepare for the sales team, the response variable (y) should be the listing price and the predictor variable (x) should be the square feet.
Specifically you must address the following rubric criteria, using the Module Two Assignment Template:
Generate a Representative Sample of the Data
Select a region and generate a simple random sample of 30 from the data.
Report the mean, median, and standard deviation of the listing price and the square foot variables.
Analyze Your Sample
Discuss how the regional sample created is or is not reflective of the national market.
Compare and contrast your sample with the population using the National Summary Statistics and Graphs Real Estate Data PDF document.
Explain how you have made sure that the sample is random.
Explain your methods to get a truly random sample.
Generate Scatterplot
Create a scatterplot of the x and y variables noted above. Include a trend line and the regression equation. Label the axes.
Observe patterns
Answer the following questions based on the scatterplot:
Define x and y. Which variable is useful for making predictions?
Is there an association between x and y? Describe the association you see in the scatter plot.
What do you see as the shape (linear or nonlinear)?
If you had a 1,800 square foot house, based on the regression equation in the graph, what price would you choose to list at?
Do you see any potential outliers in the scatterplot?
Why do you think the outliers appeared in the scatterplot you generated?
What do they represent?
You can use the following tutorial that is specifically about this assignment. Make sure to check the assignment prompt for specific numbers used for national statistics and/or square footage. The video may use different national statistics or solve for different square footage values.

CASE STUDY
David Hill: DOB December 31, 1980
Sherry Hill: DOB May 12, 1982
David and Sherry have been married for 15 years and appear to have a stable and committed relationship.
They have three children:
Divan: DOB March 5, 2014
Ruth: DOB May 12, 2012
Zael DOB Dec 23, 2010
In June of 2018 David launched a technology-based business in the garage of their home in West Vancouver. He wanted to work with other socially conscious entrepreneurs. They have become increasingly successful and last year’s revenues were about $2 million. They expect to do better than that next year. Sherry works 20 hours a week in the business and takes a salary of $95,000 annually. David’s salary is $160,000. They each take dividends from the corporate account of about $25,000 annually.
They have been instructed by their accountant to maximize their contributions to their RRSP’s which are now: Sherry: $300,000 David: $350,000. They also have a joint investment account valued at $4,000,000. They have a corporate account (Hill Holdings LT) that has only cash in it: $1,500,000 CAD and $600,000 USD. Many of their clients pay in US funds and their accountant has instructed them to keep it in that currency. They purchased a lot in Hawaii valued currently at $300,000 USD and are wanting to build on it in the next three or four years. In the meantime, they are strategizing ways to get a townhouse at Whistler. They are avid skiers and love the outdoors. They are very devoted to the family and getting as much time as possible with the kids while they are young.
They are planning to sell the business later this year. With the growth trajectory they currently have, the calibre of the staff they currently employ and projections for future revenue, Hill has had an estimate from a CPA friend of his that the business (and its intellectual property) could probably sell for between $11 and $13 million USD. But the friend also advised that if he waits for the patent for one of his side projects to come through it could be as high as $20 million USD.
They have a moderate lifestyle. They have asked us to weigh in on:
1) What they should do regarding selling the business.
2) Education for the kids
3) Tax planning for when they sell the business.
4). What kind of insurance they should have.
5) How much they might need to have to never work again and maintain their current lifestyle
6) How they should invest their funds. Good luck!
