The following relates to Problems 4 and 5.
Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000
homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called
CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is
shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and
roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure
of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of
gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New
Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.
