My brother would like to retire and move to a quieter place, probably away from me. I suggested area around Lake Louise.
But he had a more remote location in mind......

He did some housing market research in a secret destination, and would like to have me taking a look at his data.

My hunch was that he collected quite a few house sale ads and took down the asking price and the usable square footage of each house offered. He might have performed a linear regression on the data, but he did not quite believe the price for a 6000-square-foot house he obtained from his analysis. He asked me to take a look at his data.

Take a hard look at the trend and behavior of his data. Perform whatever linear regression on the data you want. What can you say about the data set?

By the way, since we are pursuing a rather concept understanding of the given data set, you should feel free to exploit available technology in the examination of the data. Maybe the linear regression applets given in the Additional Web Resources section can prove to be helpful. I guess my brother did not want me to free load on him, and that was why he did not tell me where his data came from.

Well, his peace and quiet was broken upon my visit in my family sedan. Yes, he could run, but he could not hide. I took a bottle of reserved Bordeaux from his cellar and enjoyed the northern light that evening.
