1. A factor analysis was conducted with 24 variables. The VARIMAX rotation was used, and the results were two factors. Comment on the analysis.
2. Suppose a major real estate development corporation has hired you to research the features of housing for which people will pay the most in making a home purchasing decision. Where would you start? Perhaps you would start with demographic data from the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, www.huduser.org. From the Data Available area, locate and examine the American Housing Survey. Read the most recent Survey Quick Facts. Based on this information, design a principal-components demographic analysis for deter- mining the purchase price of a new house. Would you be able to conduct the analysis entirely from data and other information available at the Hud User site? Why or why not?
