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 о 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 1:46 Back Pulse 91 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.
