The following questions have been proposed:

  1. Use the data only for California. How much does the size of a home influence its price?

  2. Use the data only for California. How does the number of bedrooms of a home influence its price?

  3. Use the data only for California. How does the number of bathrooms of a home influence its price?

  4. Use the data only for California. How do the size, the number of bedrooms, and the number of bathrooms of a home jointly influence its price?

  5. Are there significant differences in home prices among the four states (CA, NY, NJ, PA)? This will help you determine if the state in which a home is located has a significant impact on its price. All data should be used. ## Analysis We will anaylze the questions in detail using regression and ANOVA
