But use most of your support from each question from the book pages provided for each question. You can include at least 1 academic source outside this material as well, to help support questions. Feel free to use more outside sources if you choose.

For each individual essay question, you will write 600 words each, minimum. The entire assignment at the end must be 3000 words minimum.

Cite the book in references and throughout the questions as used. If you make a direct quotation in the assignment include a reference.

If you refer to materials from outside of course readings, then include a reference and bibliography for that material.

Real Estate Finance

So the task is a project of me presenting to the board of the Nigerian stock exchange about doing a re-strategy for this company called NGX RelCo.

NGX Real Estate Limited (NGX RELCO), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), was incorporated in the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a private limited company on June 29, 1974.

Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

Apply statistical techniques to address research problems
Perform hypothesis testing to address an authentic problem
Overview
In this project, you will apply inference methods for means to test your hypotheses about the housing sales market for a region of the United States. You will use appropriate sampling and statistical methods.

Scenario
You have been hired by your regional real estate company to determine if your region’s housing prices and housing square footage are significantly different from those of the national market.

The regional sales director has three questions that they want to see addressed in the report:

Are housing prices in your regional market higher than the national market average?

Is the square footage for homes in your region different than the average square footage for homes in the national market?

For your region, what is the range of values for the 95% confidence interval of square footage for homes in your market?

You are given a real estate data set that has houses listed for every county in the United States.

In addition, you have been given national statistics and graphs that show the national averages for housing prices and square footage.

Your job is to analyze the data, complete the statistical analyses, and provide a report to the regional sales director.

You will do so by completing the Project Two Template located in the What to Submit area below.

Purpose: What was the purpose of your analysis, and what is your approach?
Define a random sample and two hypotheses (means) to analyze.

Sample: Define your sample. Take a random sample of 100 observations for your region.

Describe what is included in your sample (i.e., states, region, years or months).

Questions and type of test: For your selected sample, define two hypothesis questions and the appropriate type of test hypothesis for each. Address the following for each hypothesis:

Describe the population parameter for the variable you are analyzing.

Describe your hypothesis in your own words.

Describe the inference test you will use.

Identify the test statistic.

Level of confidence: Discuss how you will use estimation and conference intervals to help you solve the problem.

Summarize your sample data using appropriate graphical displays and summary statistics.
