LA Homes, multicollinearity (1)

In the next series of exercises, you will investigate how to interpret the sign (positive or negative) of the slope coefficient as well as the significance of the variables (p-value). You will continue to use the log transformed variables so that the technical conditions hold, but you will not be concerned here with the value of the coefficient.
