In this report‚ I will perform a regression analysis to determine the effect of the Unemployment Rate (UR) on Total New Houses Sold (TNHS). I expect that there will be a negative relationship between the two variables. In other words‚ as the unemployment rate increases‚ the total number of new houses sold will decrease.

standard IQ tests. Discuss the numerous ways in which standard IQ tests fall short. The various limitations of standard IQ tests can be assessed with reference to validity (whether the tests actually measure intelligence) and reliability (whether the tests produce consistent results). These shortcomings limit the usefulness of standard IQ tests and can have negative socio-political implications when data is extrapolated without taking these limitations into account. Several limitations of IQ testing

relationship between two variables in two ways: (1) by using regression analysis and (2) by computing the correlation coefficient. By using the regression model‚ we can evaluate the magnitude of change in one variable due to a certain change in another variable. For example‚ an economist can estimate the amount of change in food expenditure due to a certain change in the income of a household by using the regression model. A sociologist may want to estimate the increase in the crime rate due to a particular
