Chad Dobson has heard about the positive outlook for real estate investment in college towns. He is interested in investing in Davis, California, which houses one of the University of California campuses. He uses zillow.com to access data on 2011 monthly rent for 27 houses, along with three characteristics of the home: number of bedrooms (Beds), number of bathrooms (Baths), and square footage (Sqft). A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table; the complete data, labeled Davis Rental, are available on the text website.
