QNT week 3 (used week 2 paper to solve this)

The United States Federal Government is building new buildings throughout the United States. The buildings on the East Coast seem to cost more to build then the West Coast. The Congress and Senate want to know if the buildings size is the factor for the increase of cost. Before Congress and the Senate approves the funding for more buildings they want to know why a building price is inconsistent with size.
