 Homework #4b -- due Friday, 29 February 2008 (before break)

 Your assignment is to read the file (using INFILE, not CARDS)
 that someone else wrote for Homework #4a and do some simple 
 preliminary analysis and write a brief report.  You should
 spend one paragraph describing the origin of the data, and one
 or two paragraphs summarizing results.  Your output (which should
 include a listing of the data) should also include at least one
 plot or chart.  Some suggestions for analysis are described below
 for the various data.
 
 One of the ground rules is that you must not change the data.
 If you find any obvious errors in the data, the person who
 created the dataset must agree and make the appropriate 
 corrections.

 Be sure to include appropriate titles and labels so that
 your report is easy to read.  Also include in the text and
 as a footnote in any figures the name of the person whose data
 you used -- one possible format is "Source: Fred Smith"

 Some suggestions:

 1) Honda, Toyota, Ford SUV
    Respond to the person who may say, "I'm thinking about buying
    a Honda Accord/Toyota Camry/Ford SUV but I don't know what's 
    available or how much they cost."

 2) Real Estate
    Respond to the person who may say, "I'm thinking about buying
    a house in this neighborhood, but I don't know what's available
    or how much they cost."

  description -- you or the person whose data you're analyzing?

    __ about equal
