Module Two Assignment

pecifically 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 Statistics and Graphs 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 and include a trend line and the regression equation
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?

Criteria Exemplary Proficient Needs Improvement Not Evident Value
Generate a Representative Sample of the Data N/A Includes a random sample of 30 from a region and descriptive statistics for the sample (100%) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include a sample that is not truly random or has incorrect descriptive statistics (55%) Does not attempt criterion (0%) 20
Analyze Your Sample Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear manner (100%) Discusses how the regional sample created is or is not reflective of the national market and explains how the sample is random (85%) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include inaccurate descriptions of the extent to which the sample is reflective of the population and random (55%) Does not attempt criterion (0%) 25
Generate Scatterplot Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear manner (100%) Creates a scatterplot of the x and y variables including a trend line and the regression equation (85%) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include inaccuracies within the scatterplot or definitions of x and y (55%) Does not attempt criterion (0%) 20
Observe Patterns Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, or sophisticated manner (100%) Makes cost projections based on the regression equation and discusses outliers (85%) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include inaccuracies in descriptions of association or shape or inaccuracies in cost projections or discussion of outliers (55%) Does not attempt criterion (0%) 25
Articulation of Response Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner (100%) Clearly conveys meaning with correct grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, demonstrating an understanding of audience and purpose (85%) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, negatively impacting readability (55%) Submission has critical errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, preventing understanding of ideas (0%) 10
