Regression Project

Complete a regression analysis for one of each data source from each group. (One from Group A, one from group B, one from group C, one from group D. So 4 all together.)

Prepare a written analysis for all four. Details here.

Group A
1. Facebook World Domination
Use Facebook's own data to predict when everyone in the world will be on Facebook.

2. Blink
Investigate the increase over time in computer processor speeds.

Group B
3. The Peach Pit and the Pendulum
Investigate how the length of a pendulum relates to the time it takes to swing back and forth.

4. A Piece of Cake
Cut a cake any number of times - how many pieces can you get?

4.5 Will the Tennis Ball Hit the Can?
The title says it all.

Group C
5. Walking after Midnight
If you ever wondered how long it would take to walk to California.

6. Harder, Faster, Stronger
See how the athletes in your favorite timed Olympic race have improved their performance over time.

Group D
(Sorry, only one choice here.)
7. I Get a Shiver in My Bones Just Thinking about the Weather
Model temperature data for various locations.
