sources.

3. Articulate at least one hypothesis that is directly connected to your research question,
specifying the null and alternatives for all hypotheses.

4. Execute a linear regression in Excel, R or other software package. The results are to
be presented in Table regression form as with any published academic paper.

5. Write up the results detailing:


o What is your question,
o Why it is important,
o What analysis was executed,
o What data was used, definitions, time periods, number of observations,
etc.,
