Refer to the North Valley real estate data recorded on homes sold during the last year. Prepare a report on the selling prices of the homes based on the answers to the following questions. a. Compute the minimum, maximum, median, and the first and the third quartiles of price. Create a box plot. Comment on the distribution of home prices. b. Develop a scatter diagram with price on the vertical axis and the size of the home on the horizontal. Is there a relationship between these variables? Is the relationship direct or indirect? c. For homes without a pool, develop a scatter diagram with price on the vertical axis and the size of the home on the horizontal. Do the same for homes with a pool. How do the relationships between price and size for homes without a pool and homes with a pool compare?

Key Concepts

Correlation Analysis

Correlation analysis involves quantifying the degree of linear association between two variables. It is used to determine whether an increase in one variable corresponds to an increase or decrease in the other, identifying the direction—be it direct (positive correlation) or inverse (negative correlation)—and strength of the relationship.

Subgroup Comparison

Subgroup comparison is the analysis of relationships or trends within distinct segments of a dataset, often divided based on a categorical variable. This technique allows for contrasting different segments, such as properties with specific features versus those without, to understand how relationships between variables may vary across different groups.

Box Plot

A box plot is a graphical tool that visualizes the distribution of a dataset using its five-number summary: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum. It is particularly useful for identifying the central tendency, dispersion, skewness, and potential outliers within the data, making it an essential tool in exploratory data analysis.

Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics summarize key aspects of a dataset by providing measures of central tendency (e.g., median) and measures of variability (e.g., range, quartiles). These measures, including the minimum, maximum, and quartiles, give insights into the overall distribution and spread of the data without relying on any assumptions about the underlying population distribution.

Scatter Diagram

A scatter diagram, or scatter plot, is a graphical representation that shows the relationship between two continuous variables by plotting one variable along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical axis. It helps in identifying trends, patterns, and potential correlations between the variables.

Transcript

00:01 All right.

00:01 This is a big data set we got to look at, north valley real estate data.

00:08 They recorded homes sold during a year, and they've got a huge data set, which will see in a second.

00:14 They want to prepare a report on the selling prices of homes based on the answers to these questions down here.

00:23 So we wanted to make a box plot, and we've got that.

00:29 We need the numbers to do that, so we need the max, the median, the median.

00:37 First quartile, third quartile, and here's where they are.

00:40 And i use the formulas from the tax rate, take the percentile, to find the first quartile, it's the number of items plus one times the .25 is the first, and 0 .75 is the second, is the third.

00:57 Anyway, these are the values you get.

01:01 About 167 ,000 for the men, 238 ,000 for the first quartile, 3233 ,000.

01:07 For the median almost 400 ,000 for the third quartile, and then the max is nine, almost 920 ,000.

01:19 So you had to do some kind of work with a larger data set.

01:25 And then i just wanted to show you a little, not trick, but a nice little way to help look at the data.

01:30 So when you have the data in your spreadsheet, you're going to see something like this.

01:33 If you scroll down, what i find is i forget which, which, what each column represents.

01:43 So there's a nice little trick that most spreadsheet programs have.

01:48 Like in this one for google sheets, you go to freeze row, one row, just highlight the thing you want to freeze.

01:54 And it's handy because then as you scroll down, that row, which contains the headings for each value is fixed.

02:01 So you remember this is your price column.

02:04 So there we go.

02:05 So there's the box plot.

02:08 And the max is this value, but we do find there are some outliers.

02:13 Outliers and there's all these ones here starting at about a little over 60 650 ,000 so i believe i've sorted it by price so i have so right about here these ones rows right because the max goes to just over 550 so that means the fence was right around here at the six well let's find the upper fence that was let's see what is that that's the it's q3, the third quartile, plus 1 .5 times the inner quartile range.

02:59 So it's that value minus...
