Identify future trends and attributes that impact expenses and admissions. As per the descriptions below, you will add new sheets to the Data Analysis Workbook you created in Milestone One. You will then use this information to create a written predictions and trends report. You will submit both the workbook and the written report in this milestone.
Data Analysis Workbook
Add new sheets to your Data Analysis Workbook per the descriptions below.
Perform two bivariate regressions to provide recommendations.
For the first bivariate regression, the dependent variable should be Total Expense. Choose an independent variable from one of the remaining attributes.
Create a sheet titled P2_1st_Bivariate_Regression in your Data Analysis Workbook.
For the second bivariate regression, the dependent variable should be Admissions. Choose an independent variable from one of the remaining variables.
Create a sheet titled P2_2nd_Bivariate_Regression in your Data Analysis Workbook.
What would be the right attribute size (independent variable) seems most appropriate to lead you in the expense range of $55–$75 million?

Perform two multivariate regressions to provide recommendations.
For the first multivariate regression, the dependent variable should be Total Expense (the column in the data set). Choose two independent variables from one of the remaining attributes.
Within your Data Analysis Workbook, create a sheet titled P2_1st_Multi_Regression.
Which combination of the attributes seems most appropriate to lead you in the expense range of $55–$75 million?
For the second multivariate regression, the dependent variable should be Admissions (the column name in the data set). You should choose two independent variables from one of the remaining attributes.
Within your Data Analysis Workbook, create a sheet titled P2_2nd_Multi_Regression.
Which combination of the attributes would seem appropriate that would lead you in the expense range of $55–$75 million?
Validate or reject your initial hypothesis based on your analysis of the regressions.
You will also need to qualify in the predictions and trends report what the rationale is behind using that attribute towards regression. Identify the right attribute size (independent variable) that would lead you in the expense range of $55–$75 million?

Section One: Overview
What does your analysis tell you about your initial hypothesis—the option chosen in Phase One? Did you confirm it? Support your reasoning with your analysis results.
