Linear Regression

The focus this week is on linear regression. Assuming a relation between two variables, linear regression allows us to make predictions. Think back to your forum post from last week. Did you see a linear pattern in the scatter plot? What was the r value for the correlation? If you found a moderate to strong linear relation between the variables, describe how you could use a regression line to make predictions. Given your data sample, what might you be able to predict? If you did not find a moderate to strong linear relation last week, what does that tell you about the data? Review the regression cautions in section 2.6 of the text. How would you consider these cautions in light of your data set?
