Building Your Dream Home
Project on Regression Analysis
Your dream home is a 2800 square foot home that you had designed especially for your family. For years, you have had the plans for your dream home; however, you have been looking for that perfect neighborhood in which to build this home.
Today is your lucky day! You have found the perfect neighborhood in which to build your dream home. The developer requires that you contract with them to build your dream home. Since, your dream home is not a floor plan they currently offer, you will need to negotiate a fair price for the home.
The only pricing information you have is displayed in the following table which you found on their website.
Title Page: Should include the title of the project, author's name/s, name of the course, the professor's name, and date.
Proposal letter: The proposal letter is a separate document from the rest of the paper but included in the paper after the title page. It is a summary of your findings and is to be placed at the very beginning of the paper after the title page. In this proposal, you will tell a little about yourself, express your desire to build your dream home, provide a brief, but logical progression of how you decided upon your fair, proposed price, and submit a monetary offer for the construction of your new dream home in this perfect neighborhood. You will offer a statement in the proposal letter that any supporting data will be supplied upon request and close your letter with your name. All supporting data will follow the letter in progression of completion.
Remember that the topic this week is Linear Regression. Also, remember that this is a paper and should be treated as such. This paper should be double spaced with font no smaller than 12-point and include the following: a title page, your proposal business letter stating your claim that he should be able to build your dream home for the price that you feel is fair, an introduction with a statement of your problem, the body which includes the table of pertinent values, which should be on one page, your computations for the equations with a clear and concise explanation of the formula that you derived, the variables used, clearly defined corresponding graph/s, and an explanation defining the procedure you used to get to your predicated price, given the accompanying computations, and a conclusion that summarizes your findings. Throughout the paper, write in grammatically correct sentences and paragraphs. As a general guide, the reader should be able to understand your report without looking at this assignment sheet.
When writing mathematics papers, remember:
1. Variables and equations should be in italics. Use Insert/Equation in WORD. If the equations are not written using Insert/Equation, then 2 points will be deducted from the final score of the project. Equations should be centered and numbered if more than one is used in your paper and you wish to refer to them later.
2. Never start a sentence with a variable name or numerical value in digit form.
3. Define all variables immediately before they first appear.
4. Use standard math notation (look at equations in your book).
5. To number and put captions on all figures. Refer to those in your text.
6. Graphs should be placed within the text, not at the end of the paper.
7. Double space your document. Two points will be deducted from the final grade if double spacing is not used.
