Overview
In this project, you will use R to solve counting and probability problems. To gain the most benefit from this project, avoid calculating numeric values and entering them into R. Instead, use R to do all necessary calculations. This project analyzes trends in U.S. housing prices and affordability using open-source data. The goal
is to answer seven analytical questions using charts, graphs, and written explanations, culminating in a 2-3-slide presentation and a 1-2 page report.
Data Sources
