The purpose of the assignment is to allow you to demonstrate your mastery of theoretical concepts introduced in the unit, applied to a real-world setting. There are five questions, some dealing with general concepts and others becoming more directed in the information required. You will also have a chance to demonstrate your understanding of regression, a fundamental skill in quantitative business analysis. The questions are phrased in an open-ended manner; the intention is that the assignment is as non-prescriptive as it can be while allowing you the academic freedom to explore and learn as much as you can.
